Allow MASS SELECTION (lassoing) of keyframes on a SUBMIX tracks

Hi! I would like to suggest adding the possibilty of mass-selecting keyframes on the submix track.

 

I try to use volume automation on the submix track to set music volumes. It could potentially be an excellent way to simplify volume automation on heavily edited tracks. However the Submix track has a major flaw that makes it unusable.

 

The MAJOR hurdle is that there is no option to mass-select keyframes.

 

Currently, the only way I have found to select more than one keyframe is painstalkingly shift-clicking EACH and every one of them. I may have dozens! And I need to repeat this process every time I make any tiny change in the sequence! This kills any productivity gain.

 

(Another effect of this lack of mass selection is that there is no way to remove ALL keyframes from a submix track. You also need to remove each keyframe individually.)

 

Allowing mass keyframe selection options, like lassoing, would make Submixes so much more viable. However powerful they are, they're currently way too work-intensive to be used in most contexts.

 

Thanks!

Dont think that is ever going to happen as the pentool is the proper tool to use for lasoing keyframes.

The pentool works to lasso, indeed. Thanks Ann.

 

It's a huge improvement to my workflow! However Adobe, it's a detail, but I still need to switch to the Arrow tool after selecting to actually MOVE the keyframes, which is an extra step.

 

Therefore, I would update my suggestion to read: "Please allow to lasso keyframes on Submix tracks with the Arrow tool as well as the Pentool."

 

Thanks!

Try the pentool to lasso.
