Object Selections

Use the Object Grabber tool to select noncontiguous clips on one or more tracks. Noncontiguous selections must encompass entire clips. If you want a noncontiguous selection to include a portion of a clip, first turn the portion into a new clip with the Separate Clip command (see Separate Commands).

The Object Grabber is not available when the Edit mode is set to Shuffle or Spot.

To select noncontiguous clips:

1 Set the Edit mode to either Slip or Grid.

2 Click the Grabber tools pop-up menu and select Object.

3 Shift-click each clip you want to include in the selection. The clips can even reside on different tracks.

 

Noncontiguous selection

Each clicked clip is surrounded by a dark border, indicating it is selected.

The Object Grabber tool ignores Edit Groups when making selections. For instance, selecting a clip on a grouped track does not cause clips in the other tracks in the group to become selected.
