This is a great feature but it would be nice to have the option of selecting multiple clips on multiple tracks and having them all move to one track only rather than retaining the track relationship they had prior to the move.
For example, some AAF’s I get have narration clips spread over a number of tracks. I would like to be able to quickly select all of those clips on their random tracks and then send them all to a single narration track at once.

But I’m wondering if it’s not already possible to copy a selection to a single track (not behind a computer right now).
Personally the job of identifying those types of Clips is often the bigger job than how to move them to a new track…
Have you tried to create a macro and PLE script that moves it for you?
I created a macro to do this. It does still require to execute a few clicks but it will speed up the process. Especially when you assign a key command to the macro.
The macro commands:
How to use the macro:
Say, you have 4 tracks with events you want to move to a single track. Select the first track and execute the macro. All events in the selected track will be selected (Edit - Select All on Tracks), then the next track will be selected (Navigate - Down), and then the selected events will be moved to that track (Edit - Move to Selected Track). By executing the macro again the same proces is repeated. If you have 4 tracks you only have to apply the macro 3 times. If you have assigned a key command to this macro you only have to select the first track and then press the key 3 times.

When you move an event to the selected track, is there anyway to retain its color. Say I have 4 tracks with events and they each have different colors, I want to Move To Selected Track and Retain Color so I know what track it came from.
Color the events prior to moving them instead of coloring the tracks
See below. Here I have some tracks colored each a different color. I highlight “pink” track and “Move to Selected Track” and the color changes to the color of the “COMP” track. Maybe there is some setting I’m missing? I using Cubase Pro 11.0.0 on Macbook Pro running 10.14.6 macOS.
Thanks… Learn something every day. See below. I changed the “pink” event color to “green” and the track color is still “pink”, then when it is moved by the “Move to Selected Track” command it retains the color. Maybe this will help someone else too.
On this same topic I found a solution to goto to the top “comp” track and move int the same key command using a macro. Below is the link to the topic in the Cubase forum.
