Quick Shortcut Question…

[Tom Wolsky]

There isn’t a simple way to do it. Can I ask why you’re selecting the clip?

All the best,

Thanks Tom,

I’m cutting hours of vox pops… to speed this up, I have been bringing the clip onto the timeline, playing it back and then placing cuts in’live’ using the CtrlV shortcut. I can then strip out the Interviewer’s questions which are not needed and then trim up the ins and outs of my answers on the timeline using the trim functions. (Hit v then U then open/close bracket to trim either way…).
This is quite speedy so far…

Then I need to cut the clips from the timeline and place them in seperate seqs using cut and paste, this is fine but its at this stage I am forced to use the mouse to select the individual clips on the timeline!!

sound like a small thing – but with this much to get through I am looking to streamline workflow as much as poss!

Cheers

Cheers,
Eugene

I guess x is what you might be looking for, but it sure isn’t the fastest way to delete every other clip. If I understand your question right. I would cmd click every other clip, the questions, then hit delete.

You can use In and Out points in the timeline to cut and ripple delete or to copy.

All the best,

Tom
