What happens when you use the Track Select Backward tool?

Using the Track Select Backward tool allows you to efficiently select all clips that are positioned before the currently selected clip on the timeline. This tool is particularly useful in video editing when you want to manipulate or work with a group of clips that precede a specific point in the sequence. By selecting all the preceding clips, you can easily move them, delete them, or apply effects without having to click on each individual clip one at a time.

This functionality enhances your workflow by enabling bulk actions, which is a critical aspect of efficient editing, especially in complex projects with many clips spread across multiple tracks. The Track Select Backward tool effectively streamlines the editing process, saving time and ensuring that edits are made consistently across all selected clips.
