Creating and Managing Groups
The following procedures describe how to create, load, modify, and delete groups.
To create a new group:
1 Select one or more clip thumbnails in the Timeline. You can select a contiguous
range of clips by clicking one and then Shift-clicking another, or you can make a
noncontiguous selection by Command-clicking individual clip thumbnails anywhere in
the Timeline.
2 Right-click one of the selected clip thumbnails, and choose Add Into New Group.
3 Type a name into the field of the Group Name dialog, and click OK.
The new group is created, and the clips you had selected now appear with the “linked”
group badge above the thumbnails.
To load a different group, do one of the following:
–
Move the playhead to another clip that’s a member of that group.
–
Right-click any clip belonging to any group, and choose
Group > “Name of group” > Load.
The selected group now becomes the current group. Using the Add Into
Current Group command will add a clip to the newly loaded group.
