Select All Clips on Timeline in Filmora for Windows

In Wondershare Filmora on Windows, managing multiple clips efficiently is key to a smooth editing workflow. The Select All Clips Forward and Backward feature lets you quickly highlight several clips at once on the timeline. Instead of selecting items one by one, you can instantly grab everything ahead of or behind your playhead position, making large projects much easier to handle.

Select All Clips Forward in Filmora

When you want to select every clip from a specific point in your timeline moving toward the end of the project, Filmora provides a quick selection option. This is especially helpful when you need to adjust or move everything that comes after a certain clip. Here is how you can perform this function:

Step 1. Begin a New Filmora Project

To get started, open Filmora on your computer and select the New Project option from the home screen. After that, import your video files into the media library and simply drag them onto the editing timeline to begin working.
