I've looked through the manual, but can't find something i've always struggled with... Often, i'm zoomed way in on a track, and i need to move everything on that track forwards or backwards to line up correctly, or make creative changes. I want to select all the clips on that track, and do very small, precise moves.

To do this, i have to zoom out, click and drag over everything in that track, then rezoom in. now, if i click off and lose my selection, i have to go and do the whole zoom out/zoom in thing all over again.

Would be much better if i could essentially 'select all clips' within a specific track! Almost how clicking on the loop brace selects all clips inside that range. but i'm looking for something horizontally, across a specific track.

any suggestions? how to efficiently grab everything on a track without zooming out and in, or scrolling a whole lot?

thanks for any help.

Hi,

Right click on the track title and click on 'select track content'.

Is this what you are after?

yep, that's EXACTLY what i was looking for.
YAY!
now, did i miss that in the manual somewhere?
thanks a bunch!
