Auto Ripple is throwing off A./V sync

Searched this, and found some people having problems with auto ripple "aftermath." I've noticed some problems, but one thing that is causing me to NOT be able to use it at all (in places where it should work for the reasons it exists to begin with) is extending or shortening clips. With it set to "everything," I grab the end of a clip in the middle of the timeline, extend it out a bit, and everything to the right shifts accordingly -- and half of the events suddenly turn pink, indicating that the sync has been thrown off. Not all, but some...sometimes one, sometimes half of them. As much as I love the "select all from cursor on" script, I'm having to do three steps that should be accomplished by just turning auto ripple on and extending a clip. Anyone have any insights on this?

Are sure Ignore Event Grouping is not turned on? Or could the timeline elements somehow have been ungrouped?

What you are experiencing is definitely not the norm with ripple editing... it should indeed ripple everything and the audio does not get left behind... BUT...

It only ripples stuff that is to the right of the "extend point" prior to you extending it. If the end of your video event was slightly to the right of any other events... (for instance on other tracks below or above) then those events will not be extended.

Look at your project... were those audio events end points slightly to the left of the right edge of the event you extended? (If you get what I mean)

I do get what you mean. I wasn't clear. The audio DOES move, it's just that some of it ends up out of sync - but like a frame, if that. I'm wondering if this has to do with precise frames of video clips vs. audio clips?

Again... it should not get out of alignement by even one frame. Do you have quantize to frames off?
