84 VIDEO EDITOR
This time, Multi-Track Ripple is selected:
Everything downstream, including spaces, is shifted to the right three seconds.
This will include transitions and clips on all of the other tracks. The entire project
(to the right of the insertion point) is moved a few seconds to accommodate the
new clip.
Ripple editing modes are valid only for the clips being inserted. Once you
place your clips on the Timeline, changing their position will have no ripple
effect whatsoever.
Inserting clips into the middle of an existing clip
Clips can be inserted right into the middle of an existing clip, automatically cutting
the clip at the insertion point.
To insert a clip into another:
1. Select Edit: Ripple Editing: Single- or Multi-Track.
2. Click the Insert Video File button.
3. In the Insert Video dialog box, select the clip you want to insert.
4. Click the Open button.
5. Press and hold the [SHIFT] key while clicking in the middle of the clip on the
Timeline that you want to insert the new clip into.
Here green.avi is inserted into red.avi. Multi-Track Ripple is on. In the first
image, you can see where the inserted clip overlaps the existing clips. Notice how
the red clip is split into two parts and the green clip is dropped into the middle.
Again, the entire project (to the right of the insertion point) is shifted right three
seconds.
