    Can anyone tell me why on my final cut 6 system, I can command-click to select and adjust the in/out point on only one track, but I can’t do this on my final cut 7 suite?

    It’s driving me nuts and I can’t figure it out.

    Its quite simple, its because there is no Final Cut 7.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    Well, whatever the new version is… it doesn’t seem to do that command click trick.

    Works for me. You might try trashing preferences. Or explain exactly what you’re doing.

    For example, you can usually alter the in point of a video clip on the timeline without altering the audio in point by command-clicking the edge of the video clip and just dragging it. I’m sure it’s a simple setting somewhere but for some reason I can’t find it.

    No, no, no. That’s Opt-click. Cmd-click allows you to select multiple items.

    I see. I was apple-click on final cut 5. Whatever the case, neither of those work now. Could it be a system setting in OS?

    It has never been Cmd-click. It has been Opt-click since v1. Opt-click is a toggle function. If linked selection is switched on, as it normally is, Opt-click will allow you to select video or audio separately. If linked selection is switched off, then Opt-click will act oppositely, selecting both the video and the audio.

    Indeed it should. But I swear to that I’ve tried it with linked selection on and off with no results. Sorry Tom, don’t mean to be difficult here but I’m really beginning to think it’s some system setting.
