# Selecting Clips

There are several methods you can use to select clips in the Source Area.

To select a single clip:

1. Click the clip.

   The border of the clip proxy turns green indicating it is the Source Area focus clip and that it is selected.

To select several clips:

1. Do one of the following:
   - Ctrl-click each clip proxy you want to select.
   - In the Source Area, drag a rectangle around the clips.
   - In the Editdesk list, select a range of clips, click the first clip in the range, then while holding down the Shift key, click the last clip in the range.

   The border of the last selected clip turns green; the borders of other selected clips turn yellow. The clip with the green border is both selected and the focus clip. Clips with the yellow border are only selected.

To select all clips:

1. Access the Source Area menu.
2. Choose Select All from the Select Clips box, or click Select All if it is already displayed.

   All clips in the Source Area are selected.
