Whenever number pad keys 4, 8, 6, 2 are pressed, a mysterious line shows up in the track pane and moves in the direction of the respective keys (4 = left, 8 = up, 6 = right, 2 = down).
 
Anyone knows what that is all about?

Enhanced editing mode?
Pressing 0 on the num keypad should make it disappear.

Yes, that is probably Enhanced Editing Mode...

Thanks! I have inadvertently pressed 0 and seen this as well. Always thought it was some sort of glitch. User glitch!

No kidding! I will have to give this a try.
 
Thanks, guys!

Accidentally hitting 0 brings you into that mode and it can really confuse you if you've never done it. I would love to "unbind" that shortcut if possible. Bumped into it too many times :)

Hi:)
 
Very handy to Fade IN/OUT and Cut quickly the beginning and/or the end of a clip.
 
0 - 9 - 8 and then + or - to manipulate the Fade in
0 - 9 - 2 and + or - for Fade Out
0 - 9 - 4 and + or - to cut the beginning
0 - 9 - 6 and + or - to cut the end.
 
I don't use mouse for this!
