you can use the "Delete" trash can icon to remove it. - Even Mike Galloway can't figure out how to use the Fade In/Out line segment icon for any desirable use.
But that's what that is. - Use the Undo or Redo curly arrows to undo or redo changes.
- You can "Reset" or revert all changes with the icon.
- Want more precise movements with the blue line play head?
Move the "Timeline Zoom" slider right.
