Whats the best way to move a selection of clips by a certain amount of time.

My video is complete and feel one clip can be enhanced by speeding it up. So went to power tools and increased the clips speed that shortened it by 15 seconds.

Unfortunately, even though I have link tracks selected, all my voice and sound clips did not follow the shortening like the video did. Now everything needs moving over by 15 seconds. I have hits and stingers precisely positioned and need them accurate.

Is there any better way to do this? So linked tracks only works when adding or removing a clip?

I think this is a much needed enhancement for this software for linked tracks to operate with lengthening or shortening a video clip.

What is the best way then to accomplish what I would like to do maybe there is a work around.

I assume the best option is to unlink the tracks and then group everything downstream and drag them up against the shortened clip ? But that doesn't work because the video downstream automatically close the gap created.

I would like to move the scrubber to the exact location and drag the group to it, but the scrubber automatically snaps to the selection.

Well I found a work around.

The solution was to create a dummy clip (gage block) the exact length I wanted to move the clips to. I aligned this clip to the shortened clip and grouped all clips downstream and butted them up against the dummy clip.

May be more than what was needed but I like precise positioning when I have half second clips aligned in the video.
