Where' the velocity envelope gone?

Sorry to be a nuisance, but I can no longer initiate the velocity envelope. If I start with a new, empty project and drag an AVI event onto the timeline, an Opacity envelope is there by default and this is the [white] line that appears when you drag down from the top of the event.
If I right-click the event and select Insert/Remove Velocity Envelope, that menu option is checked but nothing else happens. There is no blue line to drag down.
I am obviously a newbie to VV, so can anyone point out why - some other setting perhaps that is defeating the Velocity function?

(The annoying thing is that I have been able to do this in the past few days, but no longer can..?)

I can answer my own question.
I had to click on the Envelope Edit Tool. This seemed to 'enable' the feature, because I can now produce the velocity line *without* having to click Envelope Edit Tool first. Curious!

Pete,

Click on the View Menu, Show Video Envelopes, and be sure Event Velocity is checked.

Yes, I'm sure that's the answer.
I must have deselected it while trying out all the options.

Thanks
