43 minutes long, several music and text tracks. I have about 10 seconds in front of the project that I'd like to remove.

I have tried using the scrubber markers to select the whole project, but don't have the option to "select all" or "group".

I CAN go through all the clips and bits and select each with a Ctrl+ click, but this is very tedious and I could miss a bit as I need to also expand the timeline at the same time as holding the Ctrl key, risky.

I CAN do this by placing an image ahead and then "remove the space", but this can't be the proper way to move a group of files.

Please educate me as to how to do this. I can't find this info on the tutorials I have watched.

Thanks Richard

Hi Richard -

To select all the media in your project, you can just use Ctrl + A to select all. With everything highlighted, right click > Group Objects.

Now they'll all move where you want together.

Now why couldn't that be accomplished with a mouse click! I clearly now need to learn keyboard short cuts, sigh...

Thanks for the help Tony :
