    Hi All…

    just digging into Premiere Pro and need some editing advice…

    Is it possible to do a Mult track Lift edit?

    In the Sequence windows of many NLE’s you can extend a frame selection (In to Out) across multiple tracks by muti selecting the corresponding tracks themselves. I can’t seem to do this. Only one video or audio track can be slected.

    So for example, if you want to lift or extract a selection that say is within the heads and tails of multiple vertical events along the sequence, it seems to me that the only way to do this is to razor (Ctrl K) accross all tracks and then marquee select the new events and press delete.

    Can’t the In and Out points be used as the basis of the frame selection accross multiple tracks and then multi slect tracks to extend the In to out range slection vertically over selected tracks?

    What am I missing?

    You’ve happened on one of the most flagged feature gaps in PPro by former users of Discreet *Edit…

    At this point I know of no way to do what you want without the uber-razor and multiple clip select as you pointed out.

    Hi Tim…

    Good to know. As I am also a previous edit user (but have touched many NLE’s now) I was beginning to question my sanity. 🙂

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Hi Tim and all…

    another one for you…

    Are there source side effects like Audio gain in the source.

    i.e. Adjust the source gain, and it’s automatically updated where it’s use din the destination sequence?

    you could do this via nesting I suppose, but what happens to source time code when you do that?

    Thanks…..
