Ripple Editing

Hi guys ...

Some months back I asked this question, and I still have
not got this to work ....

If I have a whole pile of tracks and want to insert some
video and shuffle ALL of the clips on all tracks to the
right after inserting a clip, how is this done?

Lets say I have clips on tracks 1,2,3 (whether they are
audio or video makes no difference.

Track 1 = 0:00 - 2:00
Track 2 = 2:00 - 3:00
Track 3 = 3:00 - 4:00

I suddenly decide I need to insert a new clip starting at
2:00 for one second and therefore want the existing track 2
to shuffle up to start at 3:00 and the existing track 3 to
shuffle up and start at 4:00.

Page 152 of the manual describes this situation, but when I
follow these instructions, the new clip is inserted, but
other tracks are NOT shuffled up.
Can someone please give me a step by step with what amounts
tobe steps missing from the manual??

Thanks!

David

The equivalent command in Premiere 5.x would be Ripple
Insert BTW

maybe you don't have ripple mode on? (Ctrl+L).

If you do, the reccomended way is to

1)Position the cursor on the timeline where you want to
insert the shot

2) Open the file you want to insert in the trimmer

3) Make a time selection in the trimmer(the media you want
to insert in the timeline)

4) TAB control allows you to cycle thru a/v, a, or v only

5) In the trimmer, push the "add media" button
(Shortcut: "A")

This will give you the 3-point style editn you are looking
for.

Remember this only works as a "paste" behavior, not a drag/
drop behavior.

These steps I have followed faithfully time and time again -
but the clips on the track being inserted into only
ripple - not clips on other tracks.

OK- the easiest way to ripple across time using multiple
non-adjacent tracks is using "insert time". If you have no
timeline events selected, use the menu option to insert
time of the desired duration. (If you have any events
selected, only those event's parent tracks will get the
time insertion)

Then drag the selection from the trimmer and drop it onto
the destination timeline track. If its an a/v stream in the
trimmer, make sure the vegas a/v tracks on the timeline are
adjacent.

Can do - but now I am curious - just how does this work
then (ripple insert) as per the example on page 152 - 153
of the manual? This shows that the way I want to do it is
supposed to wrk does it not?

also, ctrl-shift-v pastes on one track but ripples all
other tracks by that same amount. So, you could make a time
selection, insert emoty event, copy and then ctrl-shift-
paste wherever you want the time and, voila, all tracks
move down, including markers and regions.
