Thanks Kevin.
I'm having a major issue with group clips. I cannot get the command "Next in group" or "Previous in Group" to work. No matter if it is an icon or a keyboard shortcut.
Seamless.....
Let me get a case started....

Case created ... # 03190608 - I couldnt reproduce it as I dont have the same OS as you.... but suport will check it out.
Stand by
Thanks Marianna.
I've narrowed down the issue and there is a work around.
Problem: You cannot toggle a group clip in the source side if there is no sequence loaded in the record side.
Solution: Load any sequence or create a new one.
So for majority of time this is not a major issue.

this is the message I get (in swedish): - Avid MC has unexpectedly been terminated - "send crash report"
I have a nested clip on videotrack 2 with two filters (3D PIP and Color Correction) - when I try to add a third filter (Blur) the system crashes.
I´m running an Imac 5K 27", 32 RAM, AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB , macOS Sierra
