Move markers when deleting multiple clips.

[Zonaverdi]

Hi there!

I am aware that selecting a clip then shift-clicking the marker track ensures markers move when a clip is deleted in shuffle mode.

If I want to select and delete multiple clips in one operation, is there any way to ensure that all markers move in the same way? How can I go about doing this?

Shift-selecting multiple clips with the object-grabber across the session, then shift-selecting the marker track highlights everything in the marker track between the first and last clip. This means when I delete the clips, everything within that boundary is deleted too. Not desirable.

I have lots of clips that need to be deleted, and individually selecting then shift-clicking the marker track is going to take an extremely long time.

Any advice appreciated!

Don't think you're gonna have much luck there - kind of an edge case and I doubt that anyone at Avid's considered the object grabber's behavior with markers.


You could use the trick of a dummy track with an empty clip group split up into clips with meaningful names instead of the marker track, and grouped with the track that you're deleting your audio clips on - then those "markers" would follow the other clips. A kludge, and maybe not useful, but thought I'd throw it out there.

The markers will not usually move correctly if the selection is not contiguous. But as far as selecting only the relevant tracks, my workaround is to move those tracks to the top of the session, delete with markers, and move them back.
