The problem start with try to fade in from black but my clip can't show the [f] icon because the track is too small.
Here is what I have under the timeline of the track window
Video Track3- blank
Video Track 2-5 sec text
Video Track 1-7 minute video
Audio Track 1-7 minute (video) audio
Audio Track 2-blank
The problem is the two black and empty track
1) can not delete
2) can not toggle expand and collapse
3) can not be resized
4) are so tall that all other track are forced to be shrunken to the point where my real tracks expand and collapse has very little effect causing the fade icon [f] to not even draw.
