Selecting and Deselecting Segments
Segment editing is a unique feature of digital, nonlinear editing. Unlike traditional tape editing, segment editing allows you to instantly reposition entire segments as though you were physically "dragging" portions of your sequence across a tape. You can move audio and video tracks separately or together, and individual or multiple segments can be repositioned at the same time.

To perform segment editing:
When you enter Segment mode, the pointer becomes a hand icon.
Outside the Timeline, the pointer changes back to the standard arrow
or I-beam, allowing you to perform other functions while in Segment
mode.

Use additional segment editing techniques, if you want, to edit clips
directly from a bin, to quickly delete segments, or to mark material in
the Timeline.
