Multiple Clip Duration

29 May 2012 04:12 #8949 by Marc Lucas
What are people using to attain the duration of multiple clips?

Selecting a number of clips and CTL+D doesn't give you they duration like it does on a single clip. I'm having to switch to the Range selector tool and drag the length of the clips that I want to know the duration of.
Any other ways or is that the best & quickest?

Thanks

Do you mean in the event browser. Doesn't it just show up at the bottom of the window?
Or do you mean in the timeline itself? Which also shows at the bottom of the screen.
I often use the Timeline index window to select multiple clips.

Yeah in the Event browser should give you the time and in the Timeline the range selection tool should do the trick... no?

As stated in the original post I was asking about 'multiple clips' and didn't mention though in the Storyline. I have found that the Range Selection tool comes as the easiest and quickest. Was just seeing if there was a better way.

I think that number appears at the bottom of the timeline panel.

Oh yeah just seen that, I never noticed that before:-)

I think that would be way better being more visible at the top of the Timeline panel.

I find once I point the info at the bottom of the timeline pane to my students, they never forget it's there.
