It’s also possible to select multiple clips that have a particular color of marker, flag, or clip
coloration. This is useful in any situation where you’re using these organizational tools
tokeeptrack of clips with specific characteristics that you might need to later select for
multi-clipoperations.
For example, you might add purple markers to a series of audio clips that might need special
EQ settings. Later, you can choose Timeline > Select Clips With Marker Color > Purple to select
all of those clips in order to move them to another track, where you can apply the same EQ to

groups of clips.

Choose Timeline > Select Clips With Flag Color > Blue – Cream
Choose Timeline > Select Clips With Marker Color > Blue – Cream
