mhm. Okay, guys, in today's video, I'm going to be showing you guys how to select multiple objects in final cut using the selection tool. Just have some extra time. Mm. Yeah, Just a reminder. This video and more videos like this can be found on softwaretraining.co.za C loads a day. We've got, uh, software relevant to this and others, and we do upload videos daily, so keep an eye on that, you know, back in the programme. So first, let's select us or locate our selection tool, which will be on our side panel here on the left, and then you'll be the top one. A selection tool. Then if you click on an object, you will see it selects it. And then if you would like to select multiple objects, you drag a selection box over, uh, objects. But make sure it goes past the borders because otherwise, if you only select, say, over the circle, but halfway over the rectangle rectangle will not be selected. Then, uh, let's say you want to select just two side ones what you can do like if you do Thursday after your select all three. So for that, you can keep shifting, select your first object and then your next object, and now you'll notice that only those two are selected. And then on the right here in your layers panel, which is located by these three little papers on each other, you can also, if you use your shift button, you can also select multiple objects like that and then just a prototype. If you keep shifting with your selection box, then you don't have to be right over the rectangle. Let's say we're over the circle and half of the rectangle. It will still select both. So it's just a nice little, uh, tip to remember. Makes life quite convenient. Mm. Okay, the next let's just go to the website. Uh, so once again, just a reminder.
