Bug: "option+y" doesn't select everything

PostFri Nov 01, 2024 7:40 pm

When I select-right (option+y) on the edit page, not all of the clips get selected. There are a random few, sprinkled on different tracks throughout the timeline, that don't get selected. The picture shows an example. Not shown, to the right in the timeline, one of the unselected clips is just a (generated) "solid color" clip. While it appears that the unselected are random, it's always the same clips. I tried selecting this same area on versions 19.0.2 and 19.0.3, and the same clips on the timeline aren't selected.

This caused me multiple headaches and even a bad delivery before I was able to figure out the source of the missing or out of place clips that didn't get copied or moved.

Another slightly odd thing, but not a problem, is the clip colors. Why are some clips a slightly lighter shade of blue, and others a little darker-gray? Same with audio clips, some are slightly lighter shade of green than others. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for the different shades...but maybe I'm missing something.

I'm using an M3 Macbook Pro

Thanks,

Thanks Joe, that fixed it! I must have accidentally disabled those.

If you know, I'm curious why most clips are selected but some aren't.

But it works, so that's good for now. Thanks again!

What I don’t understand from your screenshot is why some clips on the disabled tracks WERE selected. Might you have selected those by hand before doing the Opt+Y?

No clips were selected before the Opt+Y. I probably would have caught the "auto select" issue if the entire track wasn't selecting. I've replicated the issue several times, in 19.0.2 and 19.0.3. It selects almost everything and just leaves a few clips unselected as shown in the image.

You are selecting audio clips on tracks with auto select enabled and those clips are linked to the video counterparts. That’s why some video is selected even though they are on tracks with auto select disabled.

Steve, you are absolutely correct. Thanks for the input. Mystery totally solved!

I'm glad to say, this is NOT A BUG...Just user error :P
And I can have confidence that Opt+Y works correctly!

Thanks all!
