Working with Regions

Sometimes you may want to make changes to a range of frames, known as a region. You
might do this to cut or copy a section of time to remove it or move it to a new position
in your project. Regions do not have to align with object edges in the Timeline. You can
create a region that begins midway through an object or one that includes empty frames
beyond the edges of objects.

To select a range of frames

µ

Command-Option-drag in the Timeline.

A light blue band appears over the selected frames.
