"Select all ranges" + "Invert selection" + "ripple delete selected ranges"

It seems like this should be simple but is it possible?

Allow selection of several ranges from the markers window.

Right-click on selected ranges to choose "Invert selection".

"Ripple delete selection" - will delete each selected range 1 by one from the earliest one until the end.

This would allow rapid cleaning/editing of files with hundreds of identified "To keep" marker ranges. Otherwise it is extremely long & tedious. (It would be very useful for editing single recordings for IVR messaging, sometimes 1000s of messages, each a few seconds long - so a few clicks instead of a WEEK's manual labor! ).

Inserting into multitrack is not an option as markers are not reinserted, and all the ranges must be exported to separate files

Thanks.

- unless of course it's possible to create markers from multitrack clips? This also seems like it must be an available option but I haven't found it.

Markers in Multitrack are completely different animals - they only relate to the timeline, and don't move with clips. That's why if you look at a clip containing markers in Multitrack, it only shows them as green dotted vertical lines.

Of course one problem with your idea is that if you use a selection of markers as a means of ripple-deleting, it will promptly invalidate any information in any remaining markers after the first delete, as they are all file-specific too, and the file will have been altered.

Not as it stands, but I can see the attraction of a feature like that. Perhaps you could put it forward as a feature request? Audition: Hot (88 ideas) – Adobe video & audio apps
