Using Range Selection
Selecting a portion of a clip is easy—if you know where to click.
Sometimes, you need to select just a portion of a clip—say, to apply a filter to one part of a clip—without chopping the clip into multiple pieces.
You can do so using the Range Selection tool (press GGG to access it). Use this tool to drag across a portion of a clip to select a range within a clip. You can then delete a portion of the clip, or apply a filter to just that portion of the clip.
