Complex trims in MC5 – selecting multiple edit points
Ok, in all the previous versions of Avid, in trim mode if I held down command, I could clould select multiple edits and a/b-sides. So I could lengthen a shot and simultaneously trim music, for example.
In MC5, holding down command and clicking multiple edit points doesn’t work. I don’t care about the new ways of doing things, is there any way to get MC5 to work like all the other versions since the beginning of time??
GRRRRR

Shift seems to do the trick, when I try it.

Sorry command is the FCP modifier. Freelancer who worked in Avid for a decade, then went FCP at home, now working onsite on the new Avid so very confused. However, there after some research I found the following:
Shift DOES still select mutliple edits, however, the trim mode now autoselects edits in strange was, where it will first put a double roller, then if you want to change it to a left or right hand single roller you have to unselect the side you DON’T want, so basically now click on the opposite side of where you want the roller.
Sometimes the roller defaults to the side where you do want the single roller, in which case I click on the same side where I want the roller.
Continuing to click will change rollers from yellow to purple. Now I get that yellow is what purple rollers used to be, and get that red rollers are overwrite, but if yellow is the new purple then what does purple now so???
Still trying to get my head around all this, and make sense of the new patterns which I can’t seem to predict. Anyone with further info or suggestions of WHAT avid now does when trying to use the standard trim mode would be great!
