Delete/Erase Selection

The 'delete' function serves to delete an entire section, as chosen by you, of the Timeline. This includes everything in that section, such as all of the objects present. This is different from 'erasing' in that unlike 'deleting', 'erasing' will not resize or delete any objects or cursors.

Deleting a selection in the Timeline will delete that entire section, and everything in it. For example, it will delete any objects that existed in that section. To delete a selection within the Timeline, follow these instructions. Position the Playhead at the beginning of the area you wish to delete, hold down the CTRL key and drag the Playhead from this position to the end of the selection you wish to delete. As you do this, two new icons will appear above the Timeline, one of which is the DELETE icon (a red X). Simply click the DELETE icon and the entire selected area in the Timeline will be deleted.



Note: Take care when deleting a section of your Timeline, as this action cannot be undone.



Erasing a selection in the Timeline will only delete the changes in the selected area, and not affect the timing. Unlike deleting (above), erasing will not resize and/or delete any objects or cursors. To erase a selection within the Timeline, follow these instructions. Position the Playhead at the beginning of the area you wish to erase, hold down the CTRL key and drag the Playhead from this position to the end of the selection you wish to delete. When you do this, two new icons will appear above the Timeline, one of which is the ERASE icon (looks like a white eraser). Simply click the ERASE icon and the entire selected area in the Timeline will be erased.
