Move several selected clips (those gray blocks) spread across different tracks and frames all at once.

[rovetta01]

Hello everyone,

I’m using Unreal Engine 5.6 / 5.5 and in Sequencer I need to move several selected clips (those gray blocks) spread across different tracks and frames all at once. In UE5.0 I could just drag a marquee to select them, but in 5.6 / 5.5 the marquee only selects keys or folders by default. I’m only able to select by clicking on them individually.

What I’ve already tried:

• Holding Shift/Ctrl while dragging a marquee
• Making the marquee while draging it from left to right, right to lef, up, down…

So far nothing works. Does anyone know:

1. What setting makes the marquee select clips instead of keys?
2. Is there a keyboard shortcut or menu option to switch “Selection Mode” directly in Sequencer?
3. Has this behavior changed in UE5.6, and if so, how can I restore the old marquee behavior?

Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the post. These gray blocks are called Layer Bars and they were introduced sometime around 5.2 I believe. However, that should not have changed the selection behavior. Currently you cannot marquee layer bars. We have noted that and put it in our feature backlog.

A few things you can try:

• If you expand to see the transform tracks, keys will be prioritized first and you should be able to select all those keys through marquee
  

  

• If you set a selection range through the shortcuts i and o, you can do Select Keys in Selection Range
