Arranging and editing

Clip selection groups

Using editing tools on grouped clips

The Select, Mute and Split tools behave as follows when editing grouped clips:

• Select tool :

• Clicking a clip in a group will also select all other clips in the same group.

• Lasso-selecting will select clips that are touched by the lasso as well as other clips in the same

group that intersect the lasso time range.

• Split tool :

• Clicking an unselected clip will split that clip and all other clips in the same group that intersect

the split time.

• If a previous selection exists, clicking will split only the clips in the selection.

• Selecting a range will split all clips in the group that intersect that range.

• Mute tool . The Mute tool has several modes of operation. The corresponding mode is

indicated in square brackets.

• [Mute Entire Clips mode] Clicking an unselected clip will mute that clip and all other clips in the

same group.

• [Mute Entire Clips mode] If a previous selection exists, clicking will mute only the clips in the

selection.

• [Mute Entire Clips mode] Lasso-selecting will mute clips that are touched by the lasso as well

as other clips in the same group that intersect the lasso time range.

• [Mute Time Ranges mode] Selecting a range will mute all clips in the group that intersect that

time range.

• [Isolate mode] Clicking an unselected clip will isolate that clip and all other clips in the same

group.

• [Isolate mode] Isolating a range will isolate all clips in the group that intersect that time range.

Note: Muting a time range is limited to one track or layer at a time.

Caution: Editing operations that are performed on any group member also affect any hidden

clips that belong to the same group. Be careful that you don’t unintentionally modify or delete

hidden clips.
