Drag and Drop Editing of Several Clips Into the Timeline At Once
The procedure above also works when you want to edit several clips into the Timeline at once by dragging them from the Media Pool.
1 Change the sort order of the Media Pool’s browser area to put the clips into the order in which you want them to appear. In Thumbnail view you can use the Sort Order menu, but in List view you can click the header of any metadata column to sort by that column’s data. If you’ve used the Metadata

Command-clicking individual non-contiguous clips. Using the Sort Order menu to change
