  • how to find and select all clips on timeline originating from one master file

    Posted by Ali Jafri on January 6, 2017 at 3:27 pm

    In case the subject heading isn’t clear, let me explain:

    I’ve edited my timeline using several footage clips from various cameras. The cuts are numerous. So, if I need to locate and select all edited clips in the timeline that originate from a particular camera footage clip how do I do that? So far I’m having to scan through each edit point and this is taking a while! Must be some way I can highlight or select all clips at once.

    Please help!
