Extracting from a Sequence Question. Premeire 1.5

[Dave Friend]

There is probably more than one method and perhaps someone will chime in with a better one.Here’s how I would do it.

Part the Timeline cursor (TLC) at one end of the section to remove
Select the razor tool (C)
Make sure snap is active
Hold the shift key while using the razor to cut through all tracks.
Move TLC to other end of section to remove
Cut through all the tracks again
Change to the selction tool (V)
Drag the mouse across all tracks of the section to be removed (this selects all the “bad” stuff)
Hold shift and press Delete to extract the selected materal and accomplish a ripple of all tracks at the same time.

Takes longer to describe than to do. Hope this helps.

You can make the cut using the Shift key with the razor – that cuts them all at once. Once you cut at the in point and the out point, you can use the select tool to select everything you want to delete. Then use Shift-Delete (Ripple Delete).

There is no way to select all of the tracks in order to make them all the selected track for an Extract or Lift.

Thank you for your help, check out the other response of using the shift cut command, it worked like a charm.

Thank You for your input!

Thank you for your assistance, it works great and you will save me lots of time. Sometimes you take a function for granted until it is not there anymore. This command is a good work around. I wish they programmed this one Avid style.

Thank You for your input!

Here’s another way: Deselect all of your tracks, make sure they’re all unlocked. Set your in and
out points, then perform lift or extract. This will affect all the tracks. If you have only
one track as target track, it will only affect that track. Very similar to Avid style, only
all tracks deselected instead of selected.

Well I’ll be. I tried everything I could think of to answer this question, and I just couldn’t remember that trick. Thanks for helping out. I’ll remember it now!
