Question

Key Short Cuts - Track Select Forward Tool

Hi i'm looking for a shortcut that is similar to one used in Premiere Pro to speed up my workflow.  

 

In Premiere, it's known as Track Select Forward Tool.  If you press A on your sequence you can select a point on the timeline and move all clips that are before or after that point in either direction (regardless on which track it's on). So if you are at 0.30.00 anything from 0.30.01 can be moved along the timeline or anything before that depending on which direction the arrow tool is facing.

 

Does this tool exist in Audition? 

 

It is quite time consuming and tedious highlighting clips on the multitrack that I want to shift rather along the timeline rather  than having a short cut that I can move clips from that specific point. 

 

Hopefully there is something similar that I can use to speed up my workflow.

 

Thank you

 

Let me know.

 

Thanks

    I wasn't a fan of the replies here and basically had to piece them all together. For anyone else who finds their way to this thread, do this:

    Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts...

     

    In the search bar near bottom left, type: Select Clips to End of Session

     

    Click the space in the Shortcut collumn, type in whatever command you want. I chose F5.

     

    Now you have a tool that works exactly like the Track Select Forward Tool in Premiere. No need to group, works across all tracks

        To select all clips to the right, use option + command + T.

        That doesn't select all clips to the right - it only selects all the clips to the right in one track. And that's only on a Mac - for most users, it's Ctrl+Alt+T

         

        If you look at the second paragraph in my reply above, you'll see that you have to set your own key for selecting all clips to the end of the session, which is what the OP wanted. All other replies are moot. Also this thread is three years old now...

        Hey Robert,

         

        I was really looking for the same thing, I think I found it!

        In the keyboard shortcuts search for 'select clips to end of session'. Hope you get this message 🙂

         

        Bye!

        Niels

          You have to bear in mind that because it has to deal with way more tracks, the philosophy in Audition is a little different...

           

          It's relatively easy to ripple-delete time out of a track (several options in the Edit menu), but inserting time that way is a bit more clumsy - you have to insert an amount that you have to predetermine. In Audition terms that really doesn't matter very much, as that's not the way most people work with shifting blocks of tracks around. Instead they do this with track grouping, which is relatively straightforward, and might actually be more flexible than Premiere...

           

          There's an option in Keyboard Shortcuts to set a key that will select all the clips to the end of a session. If you place the cursor where you want to extend the time, you can select all the clips, and if you then go Ctrl+G you can group them all. Now you can shift the lot wherever you want them to be, locked together, and if you click Ctrl+G again, they'll ungroup just as they were. But if you don't want to move all of the clips, right-clicking the mouse over one and going to the Groups option will let you remove individual clips and leave them where they are. And of course you can set up multiple groups if you want, and that can be really flexible.

           

          So no there isn't a direct equivalent, but there's certainly an easy way to do it.
