Set multiple ranges in the Final Cut Pro browser
In the browser, you can set multiple ranges within one or more clips, and you can select
and deselect ranges after you set them. For example, you might set multiple ranges in a
long event clip, and then deselect some of the ranges before adding all of the selected
ranges to the timeline at once.
Note: Selected ranges have a thick yellow border. Unselected ranges have a thin orange
border. Editing commands operate on yellow selections only.
Note: The commands described in this section require the browser to be the active portion
of the Final Cut Pro main window. You can make the browser active by moving the pointer
over it or clicking it. When the browser is active, a blue line appears at the top.
Set multiple ranges in an event clip
1. In the Final Cut Pro browser, select a range within a clip.
2. To set an additional range, do one of the following:
• Command-drag in a different section of the clip.
• Move the skimmer (or the playhead) to the frame where you want the additional
range to start, then press Shift-Command-I. Move the skimmer or the playhead to
the frame where you want the additional range to end, then press Shift-Command-O.
Note: These keyboard shortcuts also work during playback, so you can set additional
ranges on the fly.
• Option-drag over or within existing ranges to replace them with a new range.
• Command-click a marker line at the top of a clip.
These marker lines can indicate any of the following: clips marked as favorite (green)
or rejected (red), manually applied keywords (blue), or analysis keywords (purple).
