Using Range Mode
Range mode also uses the position of the playhead to make selections of a partial range of clips in the Timeline when using the Fairlight Editing console or keyboard shortcuts. You can also use this mode in conjunction with the pointer and keyboard shortcuts to make partial selections of clips.
— If no tracks have been selected: Clips that intersect the playhead are not selected. You can use the pointer to click a clip and select it in its entirety along with the track it’s on. You can also use the pointer to drag on one or more clips to select a partial range in preparation for different editing operations. Whenever you make a selection with the pointer, Timeline In and Out points are set to the boundaries of the selection.
— If tracks have been selected: Selected tracks are brightened in the Timeline, and any clip on a selected track that intersects the playhead will be automatically highlighted brighter. Clips on de- selected tracks will be ignored. Dragging a crosshairs over one one or more clips with the pointer overrides all automatic selections and selects the regions of the clips you drag over, and the tracks they’re on.
— If you set In and Out points: Partial regions of all clips on all selected tracks between the In and Out points will be highlighted brighter. Clips on unselected tracks are ignored. While In and Out points are set, the playhead no longer makes automatic selections; you must set new In and Out points to modify the selection in this mode.

— Choose Trim > Range mode.

— To drag to select a range within a single clip: With the Range Selection tool selected, drag anywhere on top of a clip to drag a bounding box over whatever segment of that clip (or of one or more clips) to select both that clip segment and the track it appears on.
