Why has the toolbar above my timeline gotten shorter? How did those previous color grading and text icons disappear out of thin air?

V16 adopts a cleaner "contextually dynamic responsive" toolbar. When no clip is selected, it only displays global high-frequency tools. Various dedicated tools are folded or displayed dynamically based on the selected media type.

[Operation] To summon a specific tool, you need to first click and select the corresponding clip on the timeline. For example: After selecting a video clip, icons for basic shapes, pen, speed, and slip edit will automatically appear on the toolbar; after selecting an audio clip, dedicated buttons like beat detection will be displayed. If some advanced tools are still not visible, you can click the "More" drop-down menu on the far right of the toolbar to find them.

[Verification] Select different types of clips (video, audio, text, sticker, or SRT), and observe the timeline toolbar. The function buttons will smartly switch in real-time to the dedicated operation set most suitable for the current media.
