Extend/Shorten a Clip Selection

Recommended Posts

When I want to select a portion of a clip precisely (zoomed in) I do not succeed sometimes, because the selection is over several screen pages. Is there a simple way to extend or shorten the current selection?

The only thing I have found is "Edit > Select > From = Now / Thru = Now", but this is not so convenient because first, I have to change the now time and second, it selects all lanes even if there was only a portion of one clip selected!

I think you can ctrl + click near the beginning or end of selection to adjust.

After you edit From/Thru=Now you can click on desired track number to select only that track portion again... I think.

Large format Select Module has entries for start and end select times

Essentially this is the same as the "Edit > Select > From = Now /Thru = Now" and i.e. the now time has to be changed, too. On the other hand the access to this functionality via the Select Module is more straight forward. Thanks scook!

Thanks chris, I gave this a try, but in my CbB it is SHIFT + click instead of ctrl. Though it works great if the aim assist is activated! And there is no need to change the now time!

I know, I was aware of that. But essentially it is needless, would be great they fixed this! ? Even though I can live with it, no great problem!

But, with Ctrl+click, you can add more to an already selected portion.

With Shift click, you can select a whole range.

With Ctrl+click you can add more to already selected sections.
