Edit: Select clips between marks

'Mark selected' is great.

I'd love to have 'select marked' so clips, on auto-select enabled tracks, that fall between the in and out marks are selected. (Selection should extend beyond marks where clips do - so whole clips are selected, not partial clips).

Maybe already exists but I can't find it.?

Can you clarify? What are you trying to do here?

The same as Avid & PP - select clips between in & out, obeying track selection

To do what with them?

I ask because something like Copy already follows that behavior, even though the clips aren't technically 'selected' (outlined in red).

All sorts :-)

Lifting up selected clips to higher tracks, collapsing to lower. Pasting attributes. Adding / removing effects. Adding colour tags to clips etc etc

On Avid/PP I have , and / set to select tracks forward/back and . to select in to out. Just trying to get my unified NLE keyboard sorted for Resolve

If you're moving those clips to another track, are you expecting that to include a Blade so that only that portion of a clip between In/Out is moved? (I would not like that, myself.)

For Pasting Attributes and other listed operations, I would argue the current clip selection methods are sufficient. I'm not seeing any advantage in BMD spending resources here.

I use this all the time, it's very useful so it would be nice to have it in DR. It's a big part of my workflow.

Basically, it's the reverse function of "Mark Selection" Shift-A by default. So since we have this, could we have the alternative version too?

Thanks

EDIT: I can already feel the reply: "then just use IN/OUT". Yes true. But in terms of priority, selected clips (highlighted in red in the timeline) have a priority over the IN/OUT marks. So it feels safer to use selected clips. It's part of a coherent workflow.
