sequence in the timeline is two, solid green blocks instead of sequence of shots

[guy.cruls]

video and audio are displayed as two solid green blocks instead of showing sequences of shots and audio clips.

How do I display the sequences in the timeline instead of solid green blocks?

Thank you Ann.

I have clicked that icon with both the green block selected and unselected, but the appearance did not change...

You need to set it before you drag (insert or overwrite) assets into the timeline.

[guy.cruls]

Thank you.

But that command is greyed out prior to importing...

Post screenshot of issue.

You need to make a sequence first.

[guy.cruls]

...but I have a sequence, in the project panel, and you told me to "set it before you drag (insert or overwrite) assets into the timeline."

Open your origional sequence with the solid blobs, then delete the blobs. Click on the top left icon and drag your material into the timeline, it should now come in as separate tracks.

Many thanks. I thought switching to editing mode did the trick but no.

Re-visited your answer and that works. 👍🏻

I thought the matter was closed, but no...

While the green blocks are now segments, the audio track does not show wave forms; each segment is solid...

OK, so I feel stupid. The reason why sequences were appearing as green blocks was that I was not in editing mode. As soon as I clicked the editing mode the sequences appeared normally.

Matter closed.
