Deleting from timeline

MarcS wrote on 4/11/2004, 8:24 AM
This is probably a simple question. When I add an avi event to the timeline the video and audio parts are linked (grouped) automatically so that they move together in tandem.

If I select the video event and delete it, only the video event is removed and the audio stays. Is there a way to delete them together automatically without selecting both individually?

Thanks,
Marc

The way I usually do it is by pressing "d" 2 times (it'll select the select tool) selecting what I want to delete and press delete on the keyboard. Then, click d again 2 times to come back to the edit tool.

No. The fastest way is to click one, ctrl/click the other, then hit delete.

I may be wrong but in Premiere, linked events are simultaneously selected. Vegas acts differently. Not sure why ?

Yeah, premiere does do that. It always drove me nuts. :) Mostly cuz I wanted to seperate the audio/video (or shift just part, delete part, etc). i've found the way Vegas does it more effieicnt for me then the way Premiere does it.

But, that's just me. I I just got used to CTRL+clicking.

Actually Premier allows one to choose this linked audio/video option or not. For certain things it's very convenient - it's a nice option when needed.

There is actually an internal preference that alters the grouping behaviour so that both audio and vid are selected at the same time. I wouldn't tweak with this stuff unless Sony tells you to or you really know what you're doing, but I think it's one of the safer tweaks.

Shift+G may be of use (select all in group), but as stated above Ctrl-clicking is probably your best option here.
