Tools / Lasso

Subtitles of the Movie

The lasso tool is another selection tool and it's very handy in selecting points in a non-rectangular area. Now for instance I have a series of squiggles at the bottom of the page, and if I use the pointer tool and draw a marquee around, say I want to select the area to the right, I draw the marquee; I end up selecting the entire line with all the points, difficult then to edit those points. Same with the subselect tool, no different. Now if I go over and pick the lasso tool, draw a lasso around the points that I want to work with. Let's try that again. I hit some different points, you just kind of move it around and encircle the points or lasso the points you want to work with.
