Selecting¶

The active sequence strip is displayed with a light outline. The entire strip could be selected by clicking LMB in the middle of the strip.

Select Menu¶

The Select Menu helps you select strips in different ways.

Box Select B: Click and drag a rectangular lasso around a region of strips in your Sequence workspace. Selects strips all intersecting this rectangle.
Box Select (Include Handles) Ctrl-B: Works the same as Box Select but it selects only the strip's handles, if just one handle is selected moving the strip after selecting will change the strip's length. If both handles are selected the strip will move and behave the exact same as Box Select.
