  Is it possible to Ripple to playhead from the keyboard?

  Posted by Marcus Samuel-gaskin on February 9, 2008 at 3:22 am

  The following I understand..

  “Select the edit point you want to extend, then move the playhead later in the sequence where you want the extend to end… type e.”

  However, is it possible to do the same/similar thing by having the incoming cut ripple to the playhead by doing this from the keyboard?

  Here’s what I’m trying to achieve.

  Tap V to select the nearest cut. Tap U to cycle to the incoming side.

  Move my playhead later in the sequence

  Now I want to be able to ripple the cut to my playhead and bring the rest of the sequence up., (I was hoping the ‘e’ tap would work here but it doesn’t)

  I’m fully aware that this works from the mouse by tapping RR and dragging the cut point to the playhead. The effect is exactly what I want but there *must* be a way to do that from the keyboard…

  Am I missing something?

  (sorry if I double-posted)

  Hi, I got the answer from Jude Cotter,

  She said to use the numeric keyboard to achieve what I want. Plus or minus X number of frame. It works, even while trimming on the fly in the timeline.

  Thanks everyone!

  Marcus.

  You can also use square brackets to ripple 1 or 5 (with Shift) frames, but extend edit only works with roll. I find it faster to hit X, play into the clip hit O and ripple delete (Shift Backspace or Del)
