20 00:00:41.602 --> 00:00:43.036 Because now I can just select 1 21 00:00:43.036 --> 00:00:45.675 of the audio or video clips 22 00:00:45.675 --> 00:00:47.933 and it doesn't select the other. 23 00:00:47.933 --> 00:00:50.127 If I link them by selecting both of them 24 00:00:50.127 --> 00:00:51.983 and pressing command L, 25 00:00:51.983 --> 00:00:53.566 or right-clicking, 26 00:00:55.198 --> 00:00:57.754 you can say right click and then unlink, 27 00:00:57.754 --> 00:01:01.004 or select multiple clips and then link, 28 00:01:02.754 --> 00:01:04.142 they should be connected, 29 00:01:04.142 --> 00:01:05.993 and now if I use the Razor blade tool 30 00:01:05.993 --> 00:01:07.632 it cuts all of them. 31 00:01:07.632 --> 00:01:10.699 If I unlink them, use the Razor blade tool, 32 00:01:10.699 --> 00:01:13.675 I can't cut all of them just with 1 click. 33 00:01:13.675 --> 00:01:14.858 What I can do is actually 34 00:01:14.858 --> 00:01:16.597 hold down the shift button, 35 00:01:16.597 --> 00:01:18.878 which brings up the double Razor blade tool, 36 00:01:18.878 --> 00:01:21.056 which actually cuts through all the layers. 37 00:01:21.056 --> 00:01:23.977 So this might be a fix if you are trying to do it 38 00:01:23.977 --> 00:01:26.236 with multiple clips and it's not 39 00:01:26.236 --> 00:01:28.048 working with the linking. 40 00:01:28.048 --> 00:01:32.446 If you take your razor tool and you press shift, 41 00:01:32.446 --> 00:01:34.505 even if your clips aren't linked, 42 00:01:34.505 --> 00:01:36.191 it cuts through them. 43 00:01:36.191 --> 00:01:38.490 Now let's take this a step farther 44 00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:41.241 and let's take this clip 45 00:01:41.241 --> 00:01:43.703 and we're just going to put it on top like this, 46 00:01:43.703 --> 00:01:46.339 and if I select all of these and then link them, 47 00:01:46.339 --> 00:01:48.070 well at first I'm going to have to unlink them 48 00:01:48.070 --> 00:01:50.542 and then select them again and link them. 49 00:01:50.542 --> 00:01:51.740 Now they're all linked. 50 00:01:51.740 --> 00:01:53.801 And if I click on any one of these little clips 51 00:01:53.801 --> 00:01:55.650 it's going to select the other ones, 52 00:01:55.650 --> 00:01:57.549 and I can move it around. 53 00:01:57.549 --> 00:01:59.044 If I take my Razor blade tool, 54 00:01:59.044 --> 00:02:00.110 just the normal one, 55 00:02:00.110 --> 00:02:01.920 I am not pressing shift now, 56 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.529 it should cut through all of them. 57 00:02:03.529 --> 00:02:05.958 So that's what you should be seeing. 58 00:02:05.958 --> 00:02:09.465 If not, I'm not exactly sure what's going on. 59 00:02:09.465 --> 00:02:12.862 Just make sure that it is properly linked. 60 00:02:12.862 --> 00:02:14.967 Again, though, if we unlink these, 61 00:02:14.967 --> 00:02:17.353 so I'm going to just press command L to unlink, 62 00:02:17.353 --> 00:02:19.536 now they are unlinked. 63 00:02:19.536 --> 00:02:21.174 If I press the C button to bring up 64 00:02:21.174 --> 00:02:22.333 my Razor blade tool, 65 00:02:22.333 --> 00:02:23.483 it doesn't cut through all of them, 66 00:02:23.483 --> 00:02:24.963 but if I press the shift 67 00:02:24.963 --> 00:02:26.608 while having the Razor tool up, 68 00:02:26.608 --> 00:02:28.670 it can cut through all of them. 69 00:02:28.670 --> 00:02:29.699 So like I said, 70 00:02:29.699 --> 00:02:31.696 that could be a quick fix for you 71 00:02:31.696 --> 00:02:33.154 if you are trying to just cut 72 00:02:33.154 --> 00:02:34.792 through a bunch of clips. 73 00:02:34.792 --> 00:02:36.605 If this doesn't answer your question 74 00:02:36.605 --> 00:02:38.615 or if for some reason the linking 75 00:02:38.615 --> 00:02:40.340 you are actually linking, 76 00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:42.011 which I trust that you are, 77 00:02:42.011 --> 00:02:44.669 and it's still not working, let me know. 78 00:02:44.669 --> 00:02:48.244 Otherwise, I'll have to do some research 79 00:02:48.244 --> 00:02:50.628 on the Adobe forums to see if anyone else 80 00:02:50.628 --> 00:02:52.521 is having issues like this, 81 00:02:52.521 --> 00:02:54.326 because I haven't run into it before. 82 00:02:54.326 --> 00:02:55.788 Thanks so much for watching, 83 00:02:55.788 --> 00:02:57.925 and thanks for being a part of the class. 84 00:02:57.925 --> 00:02:59.356 We'll see you in another lesson.
