Missing Icon

[pepegota]

All of a sudden my "show all tracks " icon disappeared. I cannot see the track designators. I reinstalled to no avail. Program is crippled.

Have you tried the magic of F7 ?

[pepegota]

No, but it could fail. This again shows the need for an image backup. Every time I make a major change to the computer, I back it up with Macrium Reflect. A simple restore brought me back and all is well. Before this happened, I installed Memory Mixer 4. It said it had to install Quicktime, of which the latest version was already installed. I uninstalled QT and reinstalled their version which was out of date. Their software only works with specfic versions of QT as others, I later found out, have had the same problem. After that, VS could not display the "show all visible tracks icon." This could have been the cause but, I am not reinstalling Memory Mixer again to find out.
What does F7 do?

F7 restores your VideoStudio window to it's default view

it sounds as though you have moved the window containing the timeline and icons to the left - pressing F7 should restore the default

If F7 is not easily accessible on your PC then try "Settings >> Layout settings >> Switch to >> Default"

Hi

I cannot believe that QuickTime, an Audio Media Player would affect the layout of Video Studio workspace.

[pepegota]

Probably not but, who knows and running old versions of QT, to make things work, is not a good thing.?

Hi pepegota

You haven’t by any chance switched to Storyboard View that displays the clips as separate thumbnails and hides the tracks and Show tracks icon

[pepegota]

I am well aware of the difference between storyboard view and timeline view and I am not a novice. I did not know however, about F7

I assume F7 is the same as "restore deflault" from the drop down settngs menu. If this is the case then, I already tried that with no success. I also tried selected saved views without success. The image restore is what saved the day.
