Question

Select all clips at current playhead

Is there a way to select all of the clips on a multitrack sequence where the playhead is? I have a 4 track project and it would save a lot of time. I can razor all 4 tracks at once but I have to manually highlight all 4 clips in order to ripple delete them.

I am in search of the very same answer. I have been editing a podcast for the past year or so, and I use a Loupedeck CT to help speed things up. The one area that slows me down the most is selecting bits of audio that I've cut and prepared to ripple delete. If I could select all clips under the playhead and ripple delete, I wouldn't have to jump to the mouse and keyboard. I could assign a button to the Loupedeck and move along much faster. I have yet to find a way to do this, and I've searched and experimented quite a bit.

For that specific use, you can use the macro "Ripple delete Time Selection In All Tracks" and there is also one for the selected track. What I can't seem to find is on to select a clip to use normal delete (without ripple).

Under Edit in Keyboard Shortcuts there is a selection of options for clip selection you can assign a shortcut key to - scroll down to Select and see if there's something suitable there.
