Select All Clips on Timeline for Windows
If you're editing in Filmora and want to speed up your workflow, knowing how to select clips both forwards and backwards on the timeline is essential. This feature allows you to select multiple clips at once, saving you time and effort when editing larger projects. In this guide, we'll show you how to quickly select clips forward and backward from your playhead's position.
Select All Clips Forwards in Filmora
When you need to select all clips from your current clip position to the beginning of your project or sequence, Filmora offers an easy way to do it. This method is useful when selecting everything that comes after a specific point in your timeline.
1. Position the Cursor:
Move the cursor to where you want to select clips on the timeline.

2. Click on 'Select All Foward' or Use shortcut 'A':
You can choose 'Select All Forward' or use shortcut 'A' to select all clips on every track, including audio tracks and video tracks.

Click on the clip that last clip you want to move.

Then all clips before the last clip would be selected, you can drag any of these clips to move all clips.

3. Unselect All Clips:
Once you've selected the clips forwards, you can move them, delete them, or apply effects. You can also unselect them. Just choose 'Select' or use shortcut V.

Select All Clips Backwards in Filmora
Sometimes you might need to select clips to the left of your playhead, including all the clips before your current position on the timeline. While Filmora doesn’t support a one-click shortcut for selecting backwards like Premiere Pro, you can still achieve this with a few easy steps.
1. Position the Cursor:
Move the cursor to where you want to select clips on the timeline.

2. Click on 'Select All Backward' or Use shortcut 'Shift+A':
You can choose 'Select All Backward' or use shortcut 'Shift+A' to select all clips on every track, including audio tracks and video tracks.

Click on the first clip in the group of clips you want to select.

Then all clips after the first clip would be selected, you can drag any of these clips to move all clips.

3. Unselect All Clips:
Once you've selected the clips forwards, you can move them, delete them, or apply effects. You can also unselect them. Just choose 'Select' or use shortcut V.

Why This Feature Is Useful
Being able to select clips forwards or backwards allows you to quickly modify sections of your project without having to select clips one by one. Whether you're editing a large multi-track sequence or making adjustments to specific sections of your project, this method speeds up the editing process and keeps your workflow smooth.
