<p>In Magix/Sony Vegas Pro I could just drag click it.

# Adobe Premiere Pro - How do I select a Region in the Timeline using Mouse

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-05-04)

In Magix/Sony Vegas Pro I could just drag click it. I don't want to use the "in and out points" or how you call them, I want to select a region by drag-selecting with my mouse and then adjusting it if needed. I remember I did this somehow in Premiere Pro 2019 but I am not sure about this version.

Not sure it can do exactly what you're asking for.

Nearest I can think of is selecting the razor blade tool (or press `C`).
Making a cut using the mouse on your region, then switching back to the selection tool (or press `V`).
Then selecting your region, and adjusting the ends if necessary by floating over them, then dragging.
