Select a range
Instead of selecting whole clips, you can select a range within any clip in the Timeline or the
Browser. In the Timeline, you can also select a range that spans multiple clips. You can trim range
selections, mark them with ratings and keywords, and modify them in other ways. You can adjust
the range selection start and end points by dragging either side of the selection. You can also
create multiple range selections in one or more clips in the Browser.
