▲ The Object Grabber is not available when
the Edit mode is set to Shuffle or Spot.
To select discontiguous regions:
1 Make sure the Edit mode is set to either
Slip or Grid.
2 Choose the Object Grabber from the
Grabber tool pop-up menu.
3 Shift-click each region you want to in-
clude in the selection. The regions can
even reside on different tracks.
Each clicked region becomes surrounded
by a dark rectangle, indicating it is selected.
The Object Grabber ignores Edit Groups
when making selections. For instance, se-
lecting a region on a grouped track does
not cause regions in the other tracks in the
group to become selected.
Object to Time Selection (TDM Systems
Only)
You can convert between Time- and Ob-
ject-based selections. Time selections are
made with the Selector and Time Grabber.
Object selections are made with the Object
Grabber.
Converting to an Object selection is useful
when working with large selections, espe-
cially across multiple tracks, and want to
remove certain regions from the selection.
Converting to a Time selection is useful if
you want to select all regions between a dis-
contiguous Object selection.
To change a Time selection to an Object
selection:
1 Drag with the Selector in any track to de-
fine a selection. Select in a Timebase Ruler
to select across all tracks.
2 With the Object Grabber selected, dou-
ble-click the Grabber icon in the toolbar.
The regions falling within the selection
range become selected as objects. Regions
that were partially selected become dese-
lected.
✽ To select regions that were partially se-
lected, press the Control key while double-
clicking the Grabber icon.
