Can't find Track Select Forward tool

Community Beginner ,
Feb 17, 2025 Feb 17, 2025

Hi, I have Adobe Premiere Elements 2024 for Mac.  For the life of me, I can't find the Track Select Forward tool.  As well, pressing "A" seems to bring up an "Audio" view of the tracks.  Can someone please tell me newbie step-by-step how to access this tool (on the mac)?

Thanks in advance!

Will

A quick Google search shows that the Track Forward Select tool is a Premiere Pro feature.   With luck, I can figure out what is does and see if I can get it to work in Premiere Elements.

 

Update:  In Premiere Pro it is a quick way to select multiple clips.  You can do similar in Premiere Elements by dragging your mouse around the multiple clips you want to select.

Thanks for looking at this issue.  Yes, if you don't have many clips to select, you could move your mouse around the clips, but what if I want to move ALL the clips forward from the cursor (and you have many, many clips to move)

It would be convenient if the tool you want was included.  It is not, so it is necessary to use the more basic selection tools.   

 

Using the "+", "-" and "\" keys allow displaying the project so that I can select what I want.   Using Ctrl+A will select the entire time line.  Shift with a mouse click can select and deselect clips.

In short there is no Track Select Forward tool in Elements 2024. There is however in Elements 2025.

Lasso the clips you want to move and then drag.

Thanks guys.  A bit dissapointed that this feature is in Premiere Elements 2025, when I just purchsed the 2024 version only a year ago. Anyway, at least I know now.

Thanks again,

Will
