Hi folks
Noob question and confusion - I have my clips in track V1 and an adjustment layer in track V2. Every time I move the playhead (with selection follows playhead) the adjustment layer track V2 gets auto-selected and I inadvertently applied the actions to the adjustment layer by mistake making me backtrack on all the effort.
As you can see in the attached pic - I have disabled track V2 and the orange Destination Selector is also on track V1 - Yet when I position the playhead V2 is auto-selected:
How do I ensure that the auto-selected track is always V1? I couldn't find anything in the manual around page 600 and around.
Edi: I just tried moving the adjustment track V2 down. Now the clip track is the top track V2 and auto-selected, however none of the settings in the adjustment layer track V1 are applied! which makes the whole exercise pointless... I need to tweak the color grading individually for each subclip in the timeline on the clips track, after the basic grade applied universally in the adjustment track , but I cannot do it if the adjustment layer is not applied just because it is not the top track...
So the issue can be summarized in two points -
1 Auto-Selection should observe disabled tracks and select the topmost track that is not disabled - which it doesn't currently
2 Adjustment layer need not be the top-most track for it to apply - but strangely it seems to require this. (there seems to be a bottom to top flow of operations and if the adjustment layer is the bottom track there is nothing for it to work on...).
Thanks
