Clip editing confusion
http://imgur.com/a/ivS9P Regarding the gif above, oftentimes I am suddenly unable to split a clip, and I don't understand why. You can't see in the gif, but when I am showing the scissors cursor, I am repeatedly clicking on the clip to split it, but nothing happens. EDIT: After recording the gif, I learned that I CAN split the clip anywhere else, just not right where I want to. So I can split elsewhere and then move the ends of the split clips so they are split where I want them. But still, why?
Secondly, the gif shows me hovering over the end of the clip and only seeing that ubiquitous crossfade cursor with the two rectangles, which I NEVER need to use. Sometimes, and I don't understand why, it's the only editing mode available at the edge of a clip. I can't drag its end without also dragging other clips, and I also can't edit the fade envelope, even though there is clearly one there to edit.. Can someone help me get out of that common situation?
