  • removing series of clips from middle of program

    Posted by Greg Ball on April 11, 2005 at 2:09 pm

    I’ve got a whole program edited with many unsynched clips. I need to remove about 4 clips from the middle of this 11 minute program. Ordinarily I can just delete the clips and close the gap. This doesn’t happen because of all the unsynched clips after these 4 shots. How can I dod this so everything after these shots moves down and closes the gap. Thanks.

    Either delete the clips and choose “Close Gap” (CMD-ALT-G) instead of “Close Gap in Track” (CMD-G). Or delete the clip, move the CTI in the gap and choose “Select from Here” (CMD-ALT-H) and drag everything to the left. “Select from here” is probably the most used shortcut in our company together with zoom in and out on the timeline.

    Hi Floh,

    Close gap or select from here in track doesn’t always work when there are un-synched clips mixed in. What do you do there?

    Close Gap and Select from Here does work ALWAYS and 100% reliable as they are supposed to work.

    You don’t want “select here in track“… you want “Select from here”. Command-H.

    That will select EVERYTHING to the right of your CTI. You can drag it all over in sync.

    I left out the ALT… Select from here is: ALT-COMMAND-H That’s what you want.

    No, it is CMD-ALT-H. CMD-H is “Select from Here in Track”.

    Have to agree with Greg.
    Not always 100% reliable with lots of unsynced clips.
    Sometimes the odd one is left out.

    [mhh] “Have to agree with Greg. Not always 100% reliable with lots of unsynced clips. Sometimes the odd one is left out”

    If you use “Select from Here” every single clip that starts after or on the CTI position will be selected.
