Body: <p>I'm a newbie when it comes to DiVince Resolve so hopefully this question isn't too stupid... I'm using version 16 and am trying to create a multi-came editing session. There are many tutorials out there and they all have a screenshot something like this:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/7FT8w.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/7FT8w.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I just dragged my three videos in, selected them, and right clicked and I see something very different:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/0kudB.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/0kudB.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>That's all I have, not the huge menu that all the tutorials have. What step have I missed?</p>
