Editing with the Timeslice Tool
You can use the Timeslice Tool to make time-based selections. Unlike selections of multiple
clips with the default Selection tool (which can only select whole clips), Timeslice tool
selections are entirely time-based. This means you can use the Timeslice tool to select
portions of clips or portions of multiple clips. You can also easily move and adjust the
size of a Timeslice tool selection and add or remove entire tracks from the selection. This
is most important for processing effects.
Note: The currently active channel selections are the only channels affected by the
Timeslice tool.
Use the Timeslice tool to select any combination of the following:
• One or more clips or tracks and their envelopes
• Portions of one or more clips or tracks and their envelopes
To make a selection with the Timeslice tool
1 Click the Timeslice tool at the top of the Timeline (or press W).
2 Drag across any portion of the Timeline to make a Timeslice selection.
A Timeslice selection rectangle appears over the area.
