Creating Clip Groups

To create a clip group:

1 Select one or more clips on one or more tracks. (For more information on multitrack clip groups, see Multitrack Clip Groups).

 

Selecting clips to be grouped on a single audio track

The size of the selection determines the size of the clip group. The selection can start and end on any clip boundary, empty space, or even in the middle of a clip. Selections starting or ending within a clip will separate the clip at the selection boundary when you create a clip group. Clip groups created from object-based selections include all selected and unselected clips between the first and last selected clip on the track.

2 Do one of the following:

Choose Clip > Group.

– or – 

Right-click the Edit selection and choose Group.

Press Control+Alt+G (Windows) or Command+Option+G (Mac) to group selected clips.

The Group and Ungroup Clip menu commands apply to any Edit selection regardless of the current Track View.

The clip group appears as one clip with the clip groups icon in the lower left corner. Clip groups also appear in the Clip List.

Clip Group Timebase Format

Clip groups are created in the same timebase format (samples or ticks) as the tracks on which they are created. Multitrack clip groups can include both sample-based and tick-based tracks.

Clip groups can be created from empty selections. This can be useful when working in Shuffle mode to preserve the gaps between clips.
