Does the ‘group’ function work only when ‘select all’ has been selected?
Does the ‘group’ function work only when ‘select all tracks’ has been selected? This also groups ALL the timeline.
Sometimes I want to ‘group’ all the tracks of a project
for a specified part of the timeline to move it without
affecting the ‘surroundings’..
For an example I have a rock show with 2 video tracks
& 3 audio tracks. There is 10 songs separated with
10 sec pauses between each. Sometimes I want to stretch
or shrink the pause time between two songs so I want everything
to the right to be dragged to the right and keep
the synchronized timings betwwen tracks.
The only way I found is to select all the right
portion of all tracks from the cut points,
CNTRL-X on them and CNTRL-V to bring back the right
portion as a glued block to place it back where
I want till it’s not highlighted anymore.
Is there an easier way to do it?
Thanks -

Much easier way: the Ripple tool.
This is a little icon that looks like the cut ends of two clips, up at the top of the user interface. It has several settings, in a little drop-down menu.
If it’s off, then only the single clip you drag (or multiple clips you select) will be moved.
If it’s turned on for everything, then all clips, markers, etc. that are even with, or to the right of, your selected clip will be dragged to the left when you drag the selected clip. Also, any segment you cut out will cause everything to the right to ripple in to fill the gap you just made.
I generally use the Group/re-group command to ensure that audio clips are moved in sync with their associated video clips.
