Why is the "Smart Editing Suggestions" option grayed out and unclickable when right-clicking on media in the timeline?

The timeline entry has strict prerequisite restrictions: it only supports the single selection of a single video clip. It does not support multi-selection, pure audio tracks, or static image materials.

[Operation] ① Check the selection status: If multiple clips are selected simultaneously on the timeline, click on an empty area to deselect them, and select only the single target video clip; ② Check file attributes: If the selected file is an audio file (MP3/WAV, etc.) or an image, the timeline right-click entry will be forcibly grayed out (pure audio does not support visual frame analysis); ③ If you need to analyze an image, please go to the "Project Media" bin on the left and initiate the analysis through the media's right-click menu or the entry in the "Media Info" panel on the right.

[Verification] After selecting a single video clip again, the "Smart Editing Suggestions" option in the right-click menu will become highlighted and available. Click it to bring up the analysis results panel.
