Grouping Clips

To Group multiple clips, whether they are on the same or different Tracks, select the clips you wish to Group
together. Now choose Clips > Group. When any clip in a Group is selected, copied, deleted or moved, all clips in
its Group will be similarly selected, copied, deleted or moved.
To ungroup previously Grouped clips to treat them separately, select the Group and choose Clips > Ungroup.
Groups can be nested. I.e. one group may be inside another group. For example a stereo or multi-channel clip is
simply a group of mono clips. Stereo or Multi-channel clips may be ungrouped into individual mono ones in the
same way as any other group.
