Frank, I don't think selections can be made while in that mode. It's technically shuttle mode, not scrub mode. In HD, it's possible to press Shift while shuttling and it'll make a selection.
A better option would be to shuttle to the spot you want to edit. fine tune your point any way you want. When you've landed on the spot, press Command-e to split the region. Then navigate to the place you want the second edit point to be. Do the same thing. Now press Option-Shift-tab to select back to the previous region boundary and press Delete. Depending upon your Edit Mode, the following region or regions will either stay in place or shift earlier in the timeline. Man, this is such a big subject. I really need to put together a tutorial on editing. Must do. Slau On Feb 3, 2011, at 11:13 PM, Frank Carmickle wrote: > Hi folks > > I've just started using some editing.
