V4 Ripple Question

To SoFo, thanks for the improved ripple!

Question:
I have multiple clips on a track. I want to take a clip from track position 2 and move and insert it to track position 4. When I try this in ripple mode (any of the modes), the clip stays in position 2 and everything (position 2 and after) gets shoved down track.

The only way I have seen to do this is: ripple on>create space in position 4, ripple off>drag clip to new position (4), ripple on>delete leftover empty spaces in positions 2 and 4.

Is there another way that I am not thinking of?

SoFo- I have additional comments regarding ripple. If V4 Beta is going to be what we are going to get with ripple, I will just keep quiet. It is definitely an improvement. If you are still working on ripple for the release version, let me know and I will send my comments to you.

Thank you.

Hi Swarrine,

You mean events in the same track, or different tracks?

If the former: Have you tried shuffle? (Right-drag event-2 onto event-4, select shuffle)

SLower way, cut& paste.

Might be what yer lookin for.

Hi Marty-

Thanks for the tip, had not noticed shuffle before.

Having said that, have you noticed the anomaly that occurs when you shuffle a clip of greater legnth over a clip of lesser legnth?

If you can, give it a try just to be sure it is not only me.

Hi S,

Anomoly? Here it behaves the same as cutting one event and pasting it further down.

Hi Marty-

I have a veg that deomnstrates this. Maybe it is just me though.

If you have the time email me. stephen@mvweb.com

With Ripple on, you can cut (ctrl x) clip two and then (ctrl alt right arrow key) to move to the insert point between clip 3 and 4. Then (ctrl v)in front of clip 4.
