Edit Selections
When you are working with audio or MIDI data in your Pro Tools session,
you can create an Edit selection to work with a portion of the material on a
track. Edit selections are frequently made using the Grabber tool or the
Selector tool. Edit selections can also be created or adjusted using the Edit
Selection fields in the Edit window.
Tip: With LINK TIMELINE AND EDIT SELECTION enabled, an Edit
selection is also made whenever you select an area on a Timebase
Ruler. See the “Timeline Selections” section earlier in this lesson.
Selecting with the Grabber Tool
You can use the Grabber tool to make an Edit selection on any clip that exists
on a Track Playlist. To select a clip with the Grabber tool, click once on the
clip you want to select. The selected clip will be highlighted. To select
multiple clips, click on the first of the clips you want to select and then Shiftclick
on the last clip. Both clips will be selected, along with all clips in
between them.
Selected clips can be moved, copied, cut, or deleted (cleared) from the track.
Tip: When MIDI and Instrument tracks are set to Notes view, the
Grabber tool selects individual MIDI notes or note ranges. To select
MIDI clips, first set the track to Clips view (see the “MIDI Clips
View” section in Lesson 6) and then click on a clip to select it.
