Track targeting with the auto track selector

- You've learned the basics of the selection mode…and the trim mode,…and it won't be long before you find yourself…getting frustrated that these keyboard shortcuts…are not doing precisely what it is you want them to do.…What do I mean?…Well we're going to continue with the timeline…from our previous movie,…and we're going to start with this shot here on the one,…and I'm going to use my X key to select,…and what I really want to select is this audio clip,…and instead it's selecting the video clip.…

How do I get my X key, my mark in and out of this clip,…to honor the audio clip and not the video clip,…that's called the auto track selector.…The auto track selector is this little square…with the two carets in it,…and I'm going to click it to turn it off,…and notice how I turn it on and off,…that when I have an in and out point selected,…resolve has this behavior…where whatever's being selected is highlighted,…when I turn this off, it dims down.…

Now it's going to ignore this clip.…If I press X again, there we go.…Now it is using the duration of the audio clip…
