MUTE ALL CLIPS

[Ryanclimbs]

So I drag and drop a bunch of video files into the timeline and want to mute them all in one easy step. How? It would seem that all you would need to do it right click and mute while they are still all selected from the import but the mute setting sin't active. meaning I have to mute each clip seperately. That takes a LONG time. Am I missing something or is it not possible to mute all clips simultaneously?

It can be done but not quite that easy - after you have them all in the timeline click somewhere outside the clips to de-select them - now RIGHT click over the first one and choose 'Mute' - RIGHT click again and choose 'copy all attributes' - with the fist clip still highlighted go to the very last clips and hold down 'Shift' while selecting it - all clips are selected - now RIGHT click over the whole selection and choose 'paste all attributes' - all clips are now muted.

Thanks that help! It does work but seems to take a while to work, my corel crashed the first time I tried it! I see people have been asking corel to add a mute all feature for several years now and corel isn't really listening. Seems like a simple thing to add a feature to select all and mute all. As popular as DSLR's are right now and people just making videos set to music - you would think Corel would be listening a little better.

I have to say a big "Amen!" to your comments!

However, Corel merely "listening" isn't the complete solution; they need to do something (in a more aggressive, more frequent manner) as well!
