Ripple moves end of preceding Region
Whenever I cut a section from the timeline, if a preceding Region ended at the split before the section I cut, the end Region marker moves when I ripple to close the empty space. (The happens by Auto-Ripple (set to move markers) and by Manual Ripple (Ctrl-Shift-F).) Note that the Region’s ending flag was not on the inside of the cut section, it ‘belonged’ to the prior clip.
You probably know what I’m talking about without that description. Do you know a way so this doesn’t happen? Would you consider it a “bug” in Vegas? (It certainly bugs me!) If I have 50 labeled regions and then I cut 40 sections from the timeline, … that’s a lot of work to repair.————

wish #1: in the trimmer, batch create subclips from regions*
wish #2: same, in the timeline (on a single track with no overlapping files)
* (ideally with the option to name the subclip using the region text – either appended to or replacing all or part of the filename) -

If I understand you correctly, I think you press F if you don’t want to move the markers or regions while doing a “post edit ripple” ..
Press F after an edit to ripple the affected tracks,
Press Ctrl+F to also ripple markers, keyframes, and envelopes.
To ripple everything after an edit, press Ctrl+Shift+F.

Thanks – I should have clarified – I want to ripple all the regions and markers to the right of the cut section – i.e. all the affected markers and regions. Vegas, however, also moves ending Region flags immediately preceding the cut section. !! ??

In VP16 you could try “glose gaps” in the Edit pulldown menu or right click on a gap and find “close gaps” on the context menu that pops up. I don’t think any of the region flags move but all the gaps in your timeline shift to the left and close the gaps. As far as I know, “close gaps” is only available in VP16. I would guess therefore, that there is no one click or easy way to close all the gaps in previous versions of Vegas (unless with third party software or a script).

Thanks. I’m glad VP16 has “Close Gaps”, but I’d be disappointed if it’s true that markers (including regions) don’t move when the events move.

I really wish you would remove this “wish” as you have been told it CAN be done multiple times. It just requires a script. For example, my script, Excalibur will easily do this using it’s “Keep Good Clips” tool. Other scripts will do this as well.
