Lift clip above adjustment layer - shortcut? was created by LukeHighLife
Hi,

I have a project with an adjustment layer running over the top of the entire timeline (magic bullet looks applied)
I need to place all the titles above the adjustment layer, is there a shortcut so that when a clip/title is selected, i can lift it above an existing clip/layer in the timeline?

Thanks

Luke

what about:

select all titles in the Timeline Index, then lift all together manually ...

Or select the adjustment layer and drag it down just beneath the titles until they slide up over it.
Creating history....one edit at a time !

Hold the Shift key while dragging. It constrains you to only vertical movements, and seems to make things move more smoothly.

I find if i shift drag the selected titles it then selects all other clips on that level (bug?)
I found best way is to add all titles to a storyline and shift/drag this above the layer

*I'll try the timeline index method and see if that also works

You have ro let go of the mouse button between selecting and moving. Lasso your clips (use CMD to make additional selections). Once all is selected, let go the mouse button. Click on selection again, keep button pressed and hold down SHIFT. Move clips up. Done.

This is a misunderstanding, Karsten. The TI is an awesome tool indeed. Just wanted to explain why Luke could not drag the clips and instead kept selecting more and more when trying to.

@overturf

sorry, wasn't meant as an offense to you , but longer projects, with lots of compos ('tracks'), etc etc could make that 'manual catch' a tricky thing.

You were just helpful, for sure... but:
Doing it right avoids fixing the wrong .. ;)

Ah ok, mistake i was making was to press Shift before dragging the titles, hence selecting everything else on that level.
Tried the Timeline Index approach, a great timesaver for selecting all titles on a larger project! Will definitely be using that in the future,
Many thanks for all the tips

… and another Brownie for the TI is: it 'finds' any title in any <cough> 'track'!
And when you create and apply own roles, it finds & selects all clips to be colorcorrected or without live audio or clips needed to be dubbed or ...

Or, while editing, you can switch-off all music-tracks or jump to markers or ... endless possibilities.

Ignored it for more than a year, until I realized what is capable for ... :ohmy:

Yes, I did a refresher course last year on FCPX where the value of TI/roles was taught....I never did get round to taking advantage of them, maybe its time....
" it finds & selects all clips to be colorcorrected" this would be a huge benefit, how would i assign the relevant clips to this role?
