Chapter 16: Playing and Selecting Track Material 249
The Object Grabber ignores Edit Groups when
making selections. For instance, selecting a re-
gion on a grouped track does not cause regions
in the other tracks in the group to become se-
lected.
Object to Time Selection (TDM Systems Only)
You can convert between Time- and Object-
based selections. Time selections are made with
the Selector and Time Grabber. Object selections
are made with the Object Grabber.
Converting to an Object selection is useful
when you are working with large selections, es-
pecially across multiple tracks, and you want to
remove certain regions from the selection.
Converting to a Time selection is useful if you
want to select all regions between a non-contig-
uous Object selection.
To change a Time selection to an Object selection:
1 Drag with the Selector in any track to define a
selection. Select in a Timebase Ruler to select
across all tracks.
2 With the Object Grabber selected, double-
click the Grabber icon in the toolbar. The re-
gions falling within the selection range become
selected as objects. Regions that were partially
selected become deselected.
To select regions that were partially selected,
press the Control key while double-clicking the
Grabber icon.
To change an Object selection to a Time selection:
1 Select any number of regions with the Object
Grabber.
2 Double-click the Selector icon in the toolbar.
The time range between the first and last region
becomes selected.
If using the Object Grabber (TDM systems only),
regions on the other tracks in the group are se-
lected if they fall within the range of the se-
lected region.
