SmartSound in X5 after upgrade from X3?

[babyleon]

I upgraded to X5 today (from X3) after deciding I did not want to stary learning all over again in a new editor like Sony Vegas.... I am just getting started with X5 and the first problem i ran into was accessing my SmartSound files. I can play them in the X5 Auto Music tab but the ability to "Add to Timeline" or "Auto Trim" is grayed out. Any advice as to how I might fix this? Thanks!

Hi

Is the Music timeline clear
You cannot insert Auto Music on top of an existing music file.
Make sure your timeline curser is clear of clips in the Music Track.

Thanks a lot for that tip. That was indeed the case. I thought with multiple music tracks, SmartSount would go into the next available one but I guess it needs Music Track 1.

So far, no problems with anything else in X5. I will probably have a question on the Folders/Library change but need to review older posts on that regarding going from X3 to X4.....
