Nudge Clip Stopped working on Audio Track for Single Project

Good afternoon everyone!

 

So for a VERY long time I've been using Nudge clip to move pieces around on my timeline. I'm aware of the command, so I'm not really trying to learn how to use it. For years I've used Nudge Clip to move both audio and video to the left or right by single frames as needed.

 

The issue I'm having is that in a project I'm working on, this keybind will move video clips without issue, however audio clips won't budge. I can't use it to move the clip and I can't use it to trim the clip. In order to try and troubleshoot, I opened a different project and the keybind works just fine.

 

So I'm wondering if there is a setting that may have accidently been activated that is preventing me from nudging my audio clips in this specific project.

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Do you have audio time units selected, if you have the nudge will only be one audio sample.

THERE IT WAS!!!! So strange how that got checked. Is there a hotkey/shortcut for enabling this?

 

Thank you so much for the help on this.

You can try loading a new project and then IMPORT the troublesome project into it, see if that changes anything.

So I just tried pulling everything into a brand new project via media browser. New sequences in the project allow me to Nudge Clip without issue on both audio and video timelines. However, if I pull in my previous sequence I will be unable to Nudge Clips within that sequence. Other sequences can still be nudged.

This makes me thinks it's a sequence setting I might have accidently hit a hot key for?

Another quick update from testing a few things:

 

I have a piece of audio that is connected and cross faded between clips on the front and tail end. So audio clips A>B>C with a transition between each clip. When I select clip B and hit my keybind for Nudge Clip the audio clip doesn't move, but the transitions connecting it to A and C are deleted. So it seems to identify the intent to move, but then fails to move the clip? Another idea is that maybe the timeline is having an issue with showing a visual refresh, but I'm able to click and drag audio media just fine. 

So... not really sure what's going on, but wanted to add my additional findings.
