Group, link, and disable clips

Group and ungroup clips

In the Quick view timeline or the Expert view timeline, you can group clips so that you can move, disable, copy, or

delete them together. When you group a linked clip with other clips, both the audio and video portions of the linked

clip are included in the group.

• To group clips, select multiple clips, and choose Clip > Group.

• To ungroup clips, click any clip in the group to select the group, and choose Clip > Ungroup.

• To select one or more clips in a group of clips, Alt-click a single clip in a group. Shift+Alt-click to select additional

clips in a group.

Link video and audio clips

Most video includes a soundtrack. In the Project Assets panel, clips that contain both video and audio appear as a single

item. When you add the clip to a movie in the Expert view timeline, the video and audio appear on separate tracks with

the video directly above the audio.
