Select all clips between In & Out points

CraigS

I must not be explaining myself clearly.

There is no menu command that "Selects all regions" between the In and Out point.

Having to do it manually is TEDIOUS.

CraigS  I already know I can do that.

Take a look at my original post, and the image in it.  Do you see how many clip regions there are?

Also what part of "There is no menu command to Select All Clips between In-and-Out" is making you think I don't know how to "lasso", or mark In and Out points?  Please help me understand where my original request was not clear.

When the regions are tiny, it is difficult to select all of them without accidentally selecting extra regions: 

I am requesting the following menu option:

- Select all Clips between In-and-Out points

Here's how your engineers would implement it:

- User sets an In point

- User sets an Out point

- the list of clips is iterated through

- Any clips that exist between the in and out point would be selected.

This is trivial to implement in C++:

std::vector<Clip*> getClipsBetweenInAndOut(InPoint in, OutPoint out)
{
    auto between = [](auto val, auto lower, auto upper)
    {
        return lower <= val && val <= upper;
    };

    std::vector<Clip*> selectedClips;
    for( auto& clip : clips )
    {
        if( between(clip.startTime, in.time, out.time) &&
            between(clip.endTime, in.time, out.time ) )
        {
            selectedClips.push_back(&clip);
        }
    }

    return selectedClips;
}

And it's trivial to modify it to include clips that start or end inside the In-Out region, but extend past it.

if( between(clip.startTime, in.time, out.time) ||
    between(clip.endTime, in.time, out.time) )
{
    selectedClips.push_back(&clip);
}

Ok.  Well, I hope now the reason for adding `Select all clips inside Range` is obvious and that it becomes a tool in Screenflow soon.
