Add a "Restore Clip Selection" function

Current Problem:

When individually Shift-click selecting multiple Clips, it is very easy to lose that selection

 

Needed Change:

Add a “Restore Clip Selection” function that will recall the last batch of Clip selections that were made.

 

Why It’s Important:

If, while selecting Clip Boundaries, a Clip is accidentally selected, those Clip Boundary selections can be recalled with “Restore Trim Selection.” There is currently no “Restore Trim Selection” function for Clips, so if a user clicks a Clip Boundary or clicks off into an empty portion of the timeline, those Clip selections are lost. Sometimes, individually Shift-clicking and selecting Clips takes a lot of time. Playback of the Timeline, and other actions, can be made in-between selections. Losing a selection of Clips happens often to all users and wastes a lot of time, especially when working quickly.

 

Making selections is an essential part of the work that we do. Losing a selection is like deleting work that is completed and has to be redone. We need a way to recall Clip selections to improve the speed at which editors can work. This job is very demanding and attention-heavy. Making a very simple and easily repeatable mistake decreases moral and enthusiasm for the work and the NLE platform of Premiere. This change is a highly desired, effortless programming alteration which will ensure the reduction of countless hours of wasted time while working in Premiere.
