To select linked clips:
1. Click a segment with linked clips.
The application selects all linked segments.

3. (Option) If you want to deselect selected segments, Shift+Alt+click (Windows) or
Shift+Option+click (Macintosh) a linked segment.
Selecting Multiple Segments
Instead of lassoing segments in the Timeline to edit, you can select multiple segments on enabled
tracks quickly by using the multiple segment selection buttons in the Edit tab of the Command
palette. This allows you to select segments to the left or right of the position indicator, or to select
all segments within In and Out marks. The multiple segment edit buttons also appear in the
Timeline top toolbar if you create a new user profile (for information on creation user profiles,
see “Managing User Profiles” on page 88).
When you use the multiple segment selection buttons, your Avid editing application activates the
Segment Extract/Splice-in button if you have not selected one of the segment buttons on the
Timeline palette.
You can also use the Shift key to add segments on enabled tracks to the current selection.
To select segments on enabled tracks using the multiple segment selection buttons:
1. Move the position indicator to the first or last segment you want to select.
2. Select Tools > Command Palette, and click the Edit tab.
3. Do one of the following:
t Click the Select Left button to select segments under the position bar and all segments to
the left.
t Click the Select Right button to select segments under the position bar and all segments
to the right.
t Click the Select In/Out button to select segments intersecting In and Out marks if both
marks are present.
If the Timeline has only an In mark or an Out mark, or no In and Out marks, the Select
In/Out button selects all segments under the position bar.
Excluding Filler when Selecting Multiple Segments
With this release, you can use a modifier key to exclude filler when selecting multiple segments.
