# Selection and grouping

# Making selections

By selecting a clip, you specify what item should the subsequent actions be applied to. Selecting multiple clips allows you to apply actions (dragging, deleting, grouping, etc.) to all of them at once. To select an individual clip, simply click it.

To select multiple adjacent clips you can click the timeline anywhere in an empty region and drag. Alternatively, you can:

Click the first clip.

Halten Sie die Umschalttaste gedrückt.

Click the last clip.

When selecting a clip by clicking or when selecting multiple adjacent clips, the selection is reset. The rest of the clips become deselected if they were previously selected. Selecting or deselecting specific clips without resetting the selection can be done by toggling individually a clip's selection:

Halten Sie die Strg-Taste gedrückt.

Click on each clip you want to toggle the selection.

To clear the selection, click anywhere on the timeline in an empty region.

By default, clicking in the timeline changes the selection and also moves the playhead. To have a better control of the playhead you can disable seeking when left-clicking. This way left-clicking only changes the selection and the playhead position won't be lost when you make selections. This can be specified at Menu button Preferences Left click also seeks. You can still use right-click to move the playhead, as before, see for details.

# Gruppierung von Clips erstellen und aufheben.

Die Funktionen zum Erstellen und Aufheben der Gruppierung von Clips sind nützlich, wenn Sie Tonspuren zu Videosequenzen hinzufügen oder entfernen möchten, oder wenn Sie eine Gruppe von Clips gemeinsam auswählen, bearbeiten oder verschieben möchten.

Grouping clips in timeline:

Select multiple clips in the timeline.

Click the Group clips button on the timeline toolbar, or press Ctrl G.

You can now select, edit and move the clips all at once.

Ungrouping clips in timeline:

Wählen Sie eine Gruppe von Clips in der Zeitleiste aus.

Click the Ungroup clips button on the timeline toolbar, or press Ctrl Shift G.

Sie können die Clips nun unabhängig voneinander auswählen, editieren und verschieben.
