Hi
Used to be, working in a project, if a clip's audio was longer than the video portion, I could cut anywhere along that extended audio. Now, I can't do that. I have to cut where there's video too. Does something need to be turned on or off?

Thanks for the replies.
So, to the right where the audio extends, I couldn't make the cuts using CMD + b. I had been able to before.
But I did discover that using b (or bb) I could make those cuts.
Still am curious why I can no longer make those cuts using CMD + b.

Double-click on the audio portion of the clip in your timeline to expand it, then make your cut. While it will also cut the video line, you can grab the audio line and drag it in/out independently of the video. Then double-click it again to collapse it
If you blade just the audio clip, you are creating a new audio only clip that is completely separate from the original video; the bladed audio will become a connected clip to whatever is in the primary storyline at the cut point - as evidenced in your screenshot above.
I have to ask: why do you want to do that and create an "orphan" clip? Are you applying an effect just to that part?
What exactly are you do and what happens when you do it? Post a screenshot of the timeline.
