The scripts deliver a proofen and tested way for a very fast and very professional workflowk, together with a Jogshuttle. However, that assumes that you are familiar with some basics of the software...

So, you have to be sure to know, what the timeline is and how you apply scripts. And you must be familiar with both Vegas and also become familiar with the Jogshuttle driver and software, if you want to use that. I am afraid, that is up to you now.

"With auto-ripple off... you can still do what is called a "post edit ripple". After you cut out your unwanted part of your clip hold down ctrl-shift-f and that will do a "maximum" ripple."

Ctrl-Shift-f does a one-time ripple, but at whatever ripple mode that you have selected.

How does a 'maximum' ripple compare to the other ripples?

Ya know - you REALLY need to read the manual first.

There's three levels of ripple: Just the affected tracks, the affected tracks and all markers and regions, and all tracks, markers and regions.

By the way: ripple edit ist not important for the scripts, since the scripts work completely different. The scripts do not care, what ripple mode you have activated, too.

But be aware, that the scripts work only in a good way, as long as you have only one video and one audio track. Nothing else is foreseen and supported.

So, the correct way to apply the scripts in a workflow where you make a first and rough cutting. But they should not be used in a later phase of a project, when you have more tracks. Then ripple edit is a better way to maintain all tracks in their relative position.
