A yellow border appears around the clip, indicating that it’s selected.
Note: A timeline clip selection (shown above) is different from a timeline range selection,
which has visibly distinct range handles for adjusting the selection start point and end
point. See
Select ranges in Final Cut Pro.
Select multiple clips in the browser or the timeline
In Final Cut Pro, do any of the following:
• Select a number of individual clips: Hold down the Command key as you click the clips
you want to select.

• Select multiple clips by dragging: Drag a selection rectangle over the timeline or event
clips you want to select.

selected.
