Press 5 on the numeric key pad. This comes up so regularly!

You can place your cursor on the edge of one of the events and doubleclick.

None of these answers work - does anyone actually know how I’ve been try for several hours now?

@steve-k As @Former user wrote double click the end of the event,

or there's an option in Preferences.

& there's an option in the track header.

@steve-k Are you sure you're in A-B mode? Num5 toggle works for me every time.

Your video clip has to be selected though. Num5 doesn't work if the video part isn't selected.

Besides what Gid wrote re newer versions Prefs., see this FAQ p.28:

Q. Why is my video track split between "A" & "B" tracks?
A. If a red square bracket appears at the end of one of your video events then you are in Expanded Edit Mode. To exit expanded edit mode, do one of the following:

Choose "Edit" > "Select" > "Exit Expanded Edit Mode"

Press 5 on the numeric keypad

Double-click the event edge

Press Esc on your keyboard

If no red square bracket appears then your track layers are simply expanded. To "unexpand" them, right click on the track header (the area to the left of the track) > uncheck "Expand Track Layers".

Thank you, the answer me was that I was not in A/B I was in expanded mode. The look almost the same.

? They are the same, clicking Expanded Edit Mode reveals the A/B tracks....

The difference is that you probably don't accidentally "Expand Track Layers".
