Selecting a Group of Clips by Dragging
Sometimes the fastest way to select a group of contiguous clips is to drag a box
around them.
To select multiple whole clips by dragging:
1 Do one of the following:
 Select the Group Selection tool in the Tool palette.
 Press the G key two times, so the Group Selection tool is displayed in the Tool palette.
 Select the Selection tool in the Tool palette (or press A).
2 Drag a box around all of the desired clips to select them. Any clip you touch will be
included, even if you don’t drag across the entire clip.
Drag to select the
desired clips.
