    [Bret Williams] “But it won’t do that. The clips above the range won’t get deleted. They’ll just get mashed together in that awesome non-destructive editing manner apple invented. “

    I’m not sure what you mean here. Check out this screengrab:

    [James Ewart] “marquee select is new for me but command b a range and then multi blade still chops my music track which I have not selected .”

    Click and drag to select clips.

    Hit command-b.

    Here’s an example:

    Command B, Bee.

    Marquee select is new to you? How do you operate a computer?

    In all seriousness, use one single motion to drag select, and then cmd+click to select anything you don’t want bladed.

    Or I guess you can do it via keyboard in FCP 7, which would be like what, 10-20 keystrokes? Locking and unlocking tracks and all. Depends on how big of a layer stack you have going. It would probably look like you’re doing a lot though.

    It’s a term I am not familiar with…select a range…drag a range…lasso even. For me a marquee is a very large tent in which people hold weddings and barmitzfahs…

    It might just be derived from Photoshop then. I’m not sure. I don’t know why it’s called marquee. Perhaps it’s called marquee in photoshop because of the animated dotted lines that surround the selection, kinda like a marquee sign where the lights appear to circle around.

    That’ a maybe as (and I now this sounds weird) but I almost never use photoshop..that kind of work doesn’t come my way much…I’m sure I should because then things like After Effects might be more possible.

    As it is I’m fairly pleased with myself just opening FCPX titles in Motion and modifying them a teency bit now and then… schoolboy stuff really
