Turn off all tracks at once
Is there a keyboard shortcut to disable all tracks at once? I’m an occasional user and I have a continual problem of when I paste a clip, it ends up not where I expect it. Sometimes the audio track is the only one selected – A1 in red box – and even thought the track looks like it didn’t paste I discover later on in wiped out some of the audio. Also, some video track are out of view so I don’t realise they are still active. All I can think of is a shortcut to turn off everything then just activate the target track, but as as I’m still learning I welcome other suggestions.

Hey Jim,
I am not sure if I am understanding exactly what you mean. If you are referring to locking the tracks, in that case the shortcut is alt(option)+Shift+Number for video tracks (ex alt+shift+1 locks video track 1) and alt(option)+Shift+Function for audio tracks (ex alt+shift+F1 locks Audio track 1).
If you instead want to disable a track, in that case, the shortcuts are the same, just with Control(Comand) instead of Alt(option). So for ex Ctrl+Shit+1 disables video track 1 and Ctrl+Shift+F1 disables Audio track 1.
Anyway, you can customise any of these shortcuts from the Keyboard Customization menu in DaVinci. That is also a great resource to if you are looking for specific commands.
Best,
Riccardo

I wasn’t sure of the options, but wondered if the there was a command that applied to all tracks at once, whether locking or disabling, but it seems not as I couldn’t find one on searching, but this is more detail than I’ve found, so thanks

Hey mate,
Actually, if you use 9 (or F9) it does disable/locks all tracks at once.
So this should solve it for you.Hey mate,

OK – I just found a shortcuts list that says option-shift-9 locks all tracks. That does the trick, just needed to know what I was looking for 🙂
