To do a ripple edit in the Timeline:
1 Select the Ripple tool in the Tool palette (or press the R key twice).
2 Select an edit point by clicking near the edge of the clip.
If linked selection is on, the edit points of linked clips are also selected.
3 Do one of the following:
• Type + or – followed by the number of frames to add or subtract from the current
edit, then press Return.
• Drag the edit point to lengthen or shorten the clip in the sequence.
• Markers: If you drag a clip’s In point, you see two markers. One is a boundary
showing the new duration of the clip you’re trimming. The other shows the
position of the current frame you’ve trimmed to.
• Boundary: If you drag a clip’s Out point, you see a boundary showing the new
duration of the clip you’re trimming.
Ripple edits are done
using the Ripple tool.
