Below is a summary of time range selection
techniques in the Track Overview:
Selecting a time range in the Sequence Editor
Many of the same techniques just discussed for
making time range selections in the Track
Overview also apply to the Sequence Editor.
For example, the I-Beam cursor selects one track at
a time; shift click the I-Beam tool above or below a
current selection to add that track to the selection.
To remove a track from the current selection, Shift-
click the track name.
Figure 45-10: Using the I-Beam tool to select non-adjacent tracks.
The selection modes (“Choosing a Pointer tool
selection mode” on page 526) apply to Pointer tool
selections, giving you quick access to a variety of
selection techniques via a dynamically changing
cursor. For example, to select a soundbite, click
near its (vertical) center with the pointer cursor. To
initiate a time range selection in the middle of a
soundbite, move the pointer to the bottom edge,
where it turns into a cross hair.
