How to trim multiple Regions on GRID at once ?
I am sure there is a simple way, but I just have not found it yet... neither in the forum nor the manual nor by try & error...
I would like to trim MULTIPLE regions at once. Onto grid. But if I choose more than one region (i.e. using the "+ grabber tool") and then try trimming using the trimmer tool, only the one region my mouse is on changes it's size. In all other daw's I work with (Logic, Live, Nuendo...) ALL regions would change their size then, some at least when holding shift. Of course I tried the same procedure while holding shift, but still PT de-selects all other regions the moment I move the bundary of the one. I specifically need this, as after using "strip silence" on imported stem tracks (music) I would like the boundaries to be on the beat. In grid mode, when I trim, the region is spot on then ... but only the ONE region, not all. And sometimes I have 10 or 20 regions on that track. Trimming each region by hand (what I do now) seems way to much hassle and I am sure there is a much more clever approach ... ? Alternatively, if strip silence would have a "grid mode", not only a ms-time-default, that would be even better... then it would be done in one step ! I am still on PT 8 (for several reasons), I hope this sub-forum is still a good place for me to ask.... A new workflow would be a massive timesaver for me (and more fun to work) so thankx a lot ... !!

Re: How to trim multiple Regions on GRID at once ?
Yes, it is a pain, not to be able to drag multiple object-selected clip starts or ends simultaneously, except by the nudge value !
A script might help. But I am not sure, if I understood your problem correctly. The following prerequisites for the script : a track with dummy clips, that are all of 1 bar length, a timeline insertion to the first start of the first dummy clip. This works with Autohotkey on Windows, but there a scripting apps for Mac. The BOLD stuff is the necessary code, all behind // are just remarks Menu, tray, tip, Trim Clip Start earlier to Grid #CommentFlag // #if, WinActive("ahk_class DigiFloaterClass") || WinActive("ahk_class DigiAppWndClass") // Trim Clip Start towards the next Grid Line with a Dummy Track below // Tab first to the Start of the first Dummy Clip ^F2:: // = Ctrl + F2 send {ShiftDown}{Tab}{ShiftUp} // selects the Dummy from Start to End send p // moves Edit Selection up to the strip-silenced Clips WinMenuSelectItem, Pro Tools, , Edit, Trim Clip, Start to Fill Selection // fills the Clip Start to the Beginmning of the Selection, which is the Grid Line send ü // moves Edit Selection back to Dummy Track , it is "Ü" in German, take the proper command according to your keyboard layout send {Up} // makes an Insertion at the Beginning of the next Dummy Clip return A demo of the code in realtime : https://www.dropbox.com/s/pkxmqkoozo...cript.mp4?dl=0 I do it one time slowly, then undo, then do it again quicker. The shortcut is assigned to Ctrl F2, but can of course be assigned to whatever free shortcut.

Re: How to trim multiple Regions on GRID at once ?
A script of this kind is smarter, works without a dummy, extends a selected clip to the left to the nearest beat :
send / send Arrow right send Arrow right send 0 send Enter WinMenuSelectItem, Pro Tools, , Edit, Trim Clip, Start to Fill Selection
