Adding effects in Vegas Movie Studio 16 Platinum

I have been using Vegas Movie Studio 16 Platinum for a few years and have been quite satisfied. However, I just started working on a new video and I can't add video effects to events. I follow the standard procedure for adding effects and all the appropriate screens/dialog boxes are displayed. It looks like the effect has been successfully installed. But when I play the event on Video Preview the effects aren't there. This is a real pain because I like using effects. I think that's half the fun of building a video. Any suggestions?

Check you haven't accidentally activated the Split Screen icon in the toolbar along the top of your Preview window. It will show blue if you have.

Thanks EricLNZ. That's exactly what it was. I must have hit by accident. You have saved my video.
