  Quick short-cut question

  Posted by Paul Allen on March 2, 2009 at 11:25 pm

  Hi All,
  Is there a short-cut key so that when you select a track it automatically de-selects all other tracks at the same time? I keep inserting media and forgetting a track is highlighted so that I find holes in the edit later on. Does such a short-cut exist as haven’t found one in my searches so far?
  Thanks,
  Paul

  Just like CONTROL/APPLE + ‘A’ selects all tracks,
  CONTROL/APPLE + SHIFT + ‘A’ deselects all tracks.
  Do this first, then select the track you want to activate.

  ps.
  Also, it’s just occurred to me and i don’t know if it’s of any use, but you could also map the ‘Cycle Picture/Sound’ button (in the edit Tab of the Command Palette).
  This ‘cycles’ through All Video/All Audio/All Tracks/No Tracks.

  pps.
  If you want to ‘reverse’ your track selection (i.e. deselect selected tracks and vice versa), just drag from just above the Track icons down to the bottom of the TC Track.
