Applying post-edit ripples

You can apply a post-edit ripple that affects either the edited track(s), the track(s) and certain project elements, or everything in the timeline. The power lies in the fact that you can apply this post-edit ripple to a wide variety of editing tasks, such as trimming, crossfading, cutting, pasting, and deleting events. You can also choose to apply your ripple edits manually or automatically.

You can ripple the contents of the timeline following an edit after performing these tasks:

•trimming (pg. 103), slip-trimming (pg. 107), and sliding (pg. 108) events

•time compressing/stretching events (pg. 129)

•cutting events (pg. 100)

•pasting events (pg. 101)

•deleting events (pg. 109)

Ripple editing also affects how material is added from the Trimmer window. For more information, see Using the Trimmer window on page 132.

The original four events

Trimming the second event

After applying a post-edit ripple, the third and fourth events close the gap

A quick and easy method is also provided for shuffling a sequence of events on a track. Decide that the third event in a series should really be the second instead? You can drag the event to a new position and instruct the software to shuffle the events into their new order.
