Hi there!
I just upgraded from version 7.x to 8.3 and have been scratching my head while searching though the settings and the forums for an answer to this question:
Is there a way to lasso a set of clips without selecting all that filler?
I usually alt-lassoed (or just click-dragged from off the timeline) and around the clips I wanted before moving them... but now it seems to select the filler from every track as well! Sure, I can start my lasso ON one of those clips, but that usually doesn't include a title on an upper layer or whatnot...
Am I missing something here?
