Shortcut to select all clips from one single track? without making a rectangle around with a mouse

[Bed30321077z973]

Hello,

Selecting multiple clips, especially inside one single track is pretty easy, you use your mouse and make a rectangle around them,

but sometimes when it get crowded, I"d rather have the option to "select" the track actually. Just something like CTRL +click on one of the clips or CTRL+click on the trackname => all clips selected within that track.

Or similar.

Does that exist?

Shift Track Selection Forward.

(You need to hit F1 once in a while).

Hello @Ann Bens , what does it mean shift track?

I tried maintaining SHIFT key or SHIFT and CTRL, and moving around selection of clips,

What do you mean?

@Peru Bob  do you have something about removing the empty space BEFORE your FIRST clip only (something that removes the first gaps before any clip, but does not remove the gaps between your other clips only the beginning)

Do you have something like that? Or do you know how to tell premiere to ignore the empty space before your first clip?

Or even how to move a selection at once DIRECLTY until it hits another clip ot it hits the 0 second bar?

Sorry, no.

To remove a gap, right click on the gap > Ripple Delete.

[Bed30321077z973]

Does that work on gaps that start from 0?

I actually saw an idea ON A DREAM, But I don't think the solution I saw in my dream works.

[Ali Jaber]

It works with any gap that you right click on.

This is going to save me so much time! Thanks @ali Jaber

Any other tricks like that I should know? You guys really deserve the title "Experts".

(The fact I saw myself finding a solution on my dreams, tells you howmuch I needed it)

Here is another tip: if you want to do ripple edit on a track without affecting a certain other track, just disable Toggle Sync Lock for that other track:

Great stuff! Since we are it , do you think its possible to automate 3 actions that would always happen if I click one single button ro something (without scripting) for example:

Ripple delete gap, select all clips on a track, apply a gain, apply a video effect. DONE

I would love to do that in one click

Even scripting does not allow most of these features I think so..

I think that if you have a mouse with additional buttons, or a tablet with additional function buttons, then you can record a macro and assign it to any one of these additional buttons.
