Vanishing A/B clips effects button

We usually see the A/B effects button at the start of a video element while editing, and SOMETIMES at the end...

Sometimes there IS a A/B button at the end of the video element, and then it VANISHES

How can I prevent the A/B button from vanishing, and how can I restore if after it vanishes...???

This seems to occur randomly, and it's very frustrating...this has been a problem no matter what version I use (v15, v17, etc)

 

I tried to upload a screenshot, but could not...instead I got this msg in GERMAN:

Which is total GIBBERISH to non German speaking people...(Magix is PLAGUED by German language stuff pooping up even though it's being run in English mode)

This is frustrating...I sure wish Magix would get their act together...Magix is still very amatuerish

longjohn,

I know there can be issues, but you can often restore the [A|B] icons from a recently split clip but slightly dragging on the end of the clip. It seems that changing the play length resets the logic for the transition icon display.

You don't need to go through photobucket etc as there is a link on this page for uploading images etc.

I suspect Magix is 'plagued' by German stuff because Magix is a German company! Gibberish can be quite reasonably translated using easily available web tools like http://www.bing.com/translator. If one can believe the web, English is gibberish to perhaps 75% of the world -- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080212121243AAmtWFP
