 Group Selection: Selects multiple contiguous items. This tool automatically selects an
entire item in the Timeline even if you only drag over a part of it. Any other items
linked to it are selected as well. Use this tool to select several clips in their entirety.
 Range Selection: Selects a range of multiple contiguous items. This tool does not
automatically select an entire item, but only the part of the item that you drag
across. Use this tool to select only a part of a clip, or to create a selection that
includes portions of several clips.
 Select Track Forward: Selects all the items in a track after the selection point you click.
Selected items are ready for any group operation, such as moving or deleting. Items
linked to selected items in this track are selected also.
 Select Track Backward: Selects all the contents of the track before the selection point.
 Select Track: Selects the entire contents of a single track, as well as any items linked
to those items.
 Select All Tracks Forward: Selects all the contents of all tracks after the selection point.
 Select All Tracks Backward: Selects all the contents of all tracks before the selection point.
Note: When using the Slip or Slide tool, you can temporarily turn the Slip or Slide tool
into the Selection tool by pressing the Command key for a noncontiguous selection or
the Shift key for a contiguous selection.
