Selecting adjacent clips on the time line

Specific to Premiere Elements Version 11.

Selecting adjacent clips on the time line

Postby robbie410 » Sun Feb 10, 2013 11:57 am

Can anyone guide me how to select a selection of adjacent clips together, highlight, in one move, to enable me to drag these to close the gap created. I can do it by moving each clip individually but it rather time consuming.

Try clicking/dragging your mouse through the clips you want to move - it will select them.

Well Ron, I have tried clicking/dragging but all I get is that the first clip moves along to where I stop dragging. I just did not get the gist of this yet. Could you explain again for me please

When you click, make sure you're not on a clip (blank part of the timeline).

Click in the gap between clips and, while holding down the left mouse button, drag over the clips you want to select. Alternately, you can hold down the shift button and click on each clip to select them as a group. If all you want to do is close the gap, the easiest way is to simply right click in the gap and select "delete and close gap" from the popup menu.
