    Re: select clips

     Go into segment edit mode, either one, point the cursor in the background area above the timeline at the first segment you want to move, click and draw a lasso around all targeted clips.

     It's not a new feature (as you pointed out).

    Re: select clips

     That's correct. This feature has been in the interface since the earliest versions.

    Re: select clips

     

    I've heard from multiple sources that this would be a new feature (selecting all clips begind cursor) so not with a lasso, but with a single button. Like Final Cut or Media 100.

    Does anybody know if this is true en where to find it?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: select clips

    I think the feature you are talking about is in MC 3.0.5, not MC 3.0.

     

    According to the Readme for 3.0.5, there are new buttons that allow you to select Right of the Blue line, left of the blue line, or between in/out marks. 

     

    Since these are buttons, they will be in the command pallete and then you can map them anywhere you like (as a button or to a keyboard shortcut)

    Re: select clips

     Thank you, Vlex and Mr Difficult,

    for pointing out that very useful feature of MC 3.0.5

    I made a short video tutorial to help newcomers figure out how to go about mapping them to the keyboard.

    Re: select clips

     It does help to read the README that accompanies every version. Especially the sections " what is new" and "fixed in this version" Wink

    These functions are handy. I have mapped the buttons to my TAB key: TAB = select to the right, SHIFT_TAB = select to the left. When I push TAB first and after that SHIFT_TAB all clips left and right are selected and the clip the timeline indicator is on, is deselected.

    There is a third button added: "select in/out" If you have an in and out point in the timeline pushing that button selects all clips between in and out point. (on activated tracks). Pushing that button when on the timeline without in and out point selects only the clip the position indicator (blue line) is on. When more than one track is selected, all the clips at that position are selected.

    Good addition Avid!
