Re: right click select whole clip when trying to cut it
Just my 2 cents; you're doing it the hard way instead of the easy way(drop the cursor and hit B is about the easiest edit done in PT)

Re: right click select whole clip when trying to cut it
You could try right-clicking and then "separate".

Make sure you have activated and know how to use the smart selection tool.

Re: right click select whole clip when trying to cut it
Maybe its time for a mouse/trackball with some extra buttons?

Re: right click select whole clip when trying to cut it
If I could do that then I wouldn't have to post this
when cursor is on the cut I right click separate is grayed out and the whole clips gets selected I don't get a chance to use separate in the pull down I'm missing something to uncheck in the prefs or the tools

What instrument are you holding? There are times when I track guitar (I'm also playing) and when I stop I need to make edits. This is where having a strap on the guitar (and using it) is a necessity. I can let go of the guitar and do what I need to do in PT even using both hands if necessary. Only downside is banging the headstock into the desk every once in a while If you're playing a sax get a neck strap. Now if you're trying to do an Ian Anderson thing you have to put the flute down. |

If you go on the position and click and then right-click, it should work. If you go on the position and click , but move the cursor away from the vicinity of the position and then right-click, it cannot work.
