Creating Groups

Rockey wrote on 5/18/2004, 10:37 AM

Groups might not be the right term but here is what I am trying to do.
I have different sections of a big project. Each section has still pictures,
some with titling, and audio. I want to move a whole section (video, titling,and audio) ether up or down in the timeline. How can I do this without
having to move each clip one by one? I still want to be able to change somethings after I move them.

Thanks
Rockey

Up or down? Do you mean left or right?

You can group events by selecting them all (ctril-click each one) and then pressing the "G" key. Then just select one event in the group and they will all be "draggable" across the timeline.

Thanks.... but only one problem. Some sections have 200-300 items.
Is there a way to group them without ctril-click each one?

You can click on the first event, then hold the shift key down, and while holding the shift key down, select the last event. All events in between will be selected. You can also change the cursor to the selection cursor. This lets you do all sorts of selections.

Another way to grab them all is with the "Selection Edit" tool, whose icon looks like a dotted-line box and an arrow. Just draw a box big enough to hold 'em all, and they're selected.

I'd use the "Select Events" tool in Tsunami :-)

Assuming your cursor is at the correct position in the timeline, Control-click on one event in each track you want to include, then right-click on the last one you selected and choose "Select Events to End". Make sure you've set "auto-ripple" according to your desires, first. (This assumes you want to select everything at one point and after, all the way to the end of the project....)
