which setting should you have in the ripple edit pull down menu, when you have 4 video tracks and you want to insert a clip to one track and you want to keep the other tracks in sync?
The question is somewhat ambiguous. In sync with all the tracks or in sync with the affected tracks? Spot could be right or affected tracks could also be the answer.
My answer is try ripple- and use undo if needed.
Be careful though, the ripple tool has an unfixed bug in the last 2 versions of Vegas. I prefer to use the select tool instead of ripple.
A simple search of "ripple edit" will pull up several hundred discussions of problems cutting and using ripple edit. Quantize to Frames is another buggy setting in terms of how it affects the ripple editing process.
