Clip Grouping!

Am I missing something here? Why can't I select a number of clips and lock them together for moving and editing without having to "consolidate" them. Nearly every audio or video editor that I've ever used has this functionality.

I've wasted so much time adjusting clip after clip individually when I should be able to do a group of clips together in one movement. Clip grouping should have been a function in Live since the first release. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

just use the Ctrl key and select all the clips you want to move and move them. The Shift key selects mutiple clips in order.

Just start messing with them and you will see what im talking about

hope that helps

Yeah, CTRL key SHIFT key, that's not what i'm talking about. What I mean is that like every other pro level digital media editor, Live NEEDS the ability to group clips and lock them together as a group. I've made about 10 digital mixes now using Live. The one I'm currently working on is 4 hours long. I STILL have to manually realign pieces all the way down the time line if i didn't sync things right the first time through. And what if I want to change something or insert a track? It's a joke! Every other professional digital editor I've ever used allows users to group clips together and move them to a perfect location as one piece. I REALLY hope that we don't have to wait until Live 6 for this.

I purchase Live 5 last spring with the hope that I had finally found a good program for digital djing. After 6 months of use, I have to say that L5 is as close as I've come, but still has a LONG way to go before it can be called "professional". Lets get some grouping guys alright? I've wasted more time messing around with clip positions because this is missing...
