If select a load of clips on timeline, moving timeline playhead deselects. Please can they stay selected. After moving clips, they become deselected. Please can they stay selected. This mimics Ableton and Video editor clip selection timeline behaviour. Thanks Thanks ---

Thanks again for the suggestions @Hagop_Heath-Matossia ! > [@Hagop\_Heath-Matossia](#): > > If select a load of clips on timeline, moving timeline playhead deselects. Please can they stay selected. 100% agree, bit tricky because clicking off any blocks will deselect them so it’s not always apparent if you’re about to start scrolling or not. I think I may completely change the scroll / click model of the timeline, I actually really like how Davinci Resolve does it - as that’s also cross platform I think it may be a good example to work from. But yes in short I recognise that it needs attention. > [@Hagop\_Heath-Matossia](#): > > After moving clips, they become deselected. Please can they stay selected. I’m not seeing this behaviour here either on the clip deck or the timeline. Am I missing something again? 😅 cheers! Seb
