Ability to select multiple clips in Layer Lane or Timeline at once
W

Currently, it's only possible to select one clip at a time in the Layer Lane. If you've gotten into a state where there are a huge number of clips in the Layer Lane that you need to remove, being able to select multiple clips at one time would help streamline removing them (instead of deleting them individually).

I will add my voice to the choir singing that this is a badly needed feature. It is making my workflow much more painful when I need to make any sort of change to a collection of related clips and sounds, there's no way to group them or crop them or move them without breaking everything and having to move them one by one. Please, please prioritize this feature. Thank you for all your hard work on this awesome product.

challenging but best way around it: it won't work if you select in timeline editor. but on the playback screen, hold down shift and click elements & C(copy). best if less than 5 at a time.

Descript continues to excel at releasing gimmick after gimmick while failing to deliver on the most basic functions like this one. So frustrating.

It’s great that you can now select multiple on-screen elements in the video preview. It would be even more helpful to extend this ability to the timeline layers panel.
For example, if I want to adjust the duration of several elements at once, I’d like to be able to drag-select or multi-click layers in the timeline and then extend or move them together, rather than editing each individually.
This would make workflows with many overlapping elements much faster and more efficient.

This seems basic..but it is still unavailable.

Descript has a lot of advanced AI features, but also lacks lot of very basic ones.

Any update?

Can we please get any sort of update on this feature? Mindblowing that any NLE wouldn't have the ability to select multiple clips at once and make basic adjustments. Biggest time waster by far when using Descript.

Much needed!
