Linked/Unlinked Selection
By default your audio and video are locked together. This means clips
positioned in the Timeline will be married together in a similar way to film
images and magnetic sound-striped tape running together in a synchronizer
or a projector.
To illustrate the meaning of Linked Selection make sure you have selected the
Pointer from the Toolbar. Check that you have several clips in the Timeline.
■
1
Point your cursor at a clip in the Timeline and click once. The clip is now
highlighted.
■
2
While still holding down your mouse button, slide this clip to the right
or left. Notice that both the audio and video move together.
■
3
Release the clip you are moving over one of the clips in the Timeline and
the video and audio will overwrite the clip over which it is positioned.
■
4
Press Apple 'Z' and the Overwrite Edit will be undone. The clip will
return to its previous position.
■
5
Click once on the green symbol which resembles a
diagonal figure 8 inside a box, located top right of
the Timeline. The symbol will turn gray and white to
represent that Linked Selection is turned off.
