Advanced Editing Tips - Selecting items under mouse cursor
How to select items without losing your position in the timeline? How about snapping an item to the cursor?
In this video we'll explore actions to select under the mouse, then copy, cut, and paste or move items to the edit cursor. This is an editing trick that saves tons of time and something I'm using in nearly every project. And I think this is something that can't be done in other DAWs.
