Scissors grayed out - unable to clip

[KG_BK]

I've been editing a video on desktop with no problems, and all of a sudden the scissors are grayed out, and I'm unable to cut my video. I closed the program and reopened it. Same. I don't know exactly what I was doing before this happened. Nothing obvious stands out. How do I enable the scissors?

Hi there!

Thanks for sharing a screenshot. What happens when you move the blue CTI to the right? It will highlight the scissor tool.

Let us know how it goes.

Hello Kartika, you seem very certain, but you are wrong, it still doesn't work. Does it not work after you remove audio track or something? If you don't know please don't give us a 'solution' that doesn't work, it wate all our time. And produces bad search results when facing issues. 

Not there

Followed instructions... still not there

Kartika, what is the blue CTI?   My scissors have also grayed out AND split also does not split.  This is iPhone 14 IOS

Don't know if you ever found a solution, but I have managed to get the scissors back. I changed the clip speed from 100% then changed it back to 100% and scissors were there. This would suggest to me that it is a bug. Judging previous top notch 'support' from Adobe it will never be addressed.

Yay! Thank you! This works in restoring the scissors.

I had the same issue and tried a few things but it seems it was the fact i had deleted the audio off of the clips that was causing it. Solution for me therefor is to do the audio last (which makes sense anyway).
