Chapter 3: The Album 47
Displaying scene start and length
As you move the mouse pointer over
scenes, the pointer changes to a grabber
symbol. If you pause momentarily on the
scene, the start time and length is
displayed. If you leave the grabber on the
scene, the display persists for several
seconds.
Note that the start time is the timecode from the
original source video in minutes, seconds, and frames.
Selecting scenes
Studio offers a variety of ways to select scenes in the
Album. Selection techniques follow standard Windows
conventions. A highlighted border indicates selected
scenes. You can use combinations of these techniques:
• Choose the Edit > Select All menu or press Ctrl+A to
select all the scenes in the Album, including those on
other pages.
• Shift-click to select a range of contiguous scenes.
• Ctrl-click to make discontiguous selections.
• Starting with the mouse pointer over the Album page
but not over a scene icon, click-hold-drag to
“marquee” an area, selecting all the scenes that
intersect the area.
• Use the arrow keys to navigate the Album grid. Use
the arrows in combination with Shift
to select scenes
as you go.
