Couple basic questions
Hello again everyone,
Got a couple basic questions that I hope have some simple answers.
1. I was adding text to my project, but I needed to move to pop up window where I type the text and accidentally moved the pop up into the trimmer. Needless to say I couldn’t get it back out and when ever I tried to add text to a project it would appear in the trimmer from then on. I had to delete all settings and clear the cashe to fix this. SO the question would be, is there a much simpler way to fix this?
2. I was doing some heavy editing work on a project that consisted of about 300 cuts.
I saw something at the begging of my event that needed to be cut but after that I had a space in the timeline from what I cut out and the other 299 cuts. Is there a simple way to move all my other cuts from the right over to the left to meet my new cut outside of moving them all one at a time? That took me awhile to do and was tedious to say the least.Hope that I worded these the right way to properly express the troubles I’m having and I hope to hear from you guys soon thnx!

For #2:
I normally do it by clicking the first event on the video timeline I have to move, then ctrl-click the audio which goes with it. That selects the first event on both the video and audio tracks which needs to move. Then right-click on one of the selected events and do “select events to end”. That will select all the video and audio to the right. You can do that for as many tracks as you need. Now just drag them to the left to line them up. If you’re grouping events then you’ll want to “ignore event grouping” before doing this.
Now that I think about it, I think most people use “Post edit ripple” to do that. I’m just used to doing it manually. Take a look at the “post edit ripple” entry on the “Edit menu”. It’s pretty self-explanatory. Post edit ripple can also move your markers if you use them.
Sometimes I find myself moving big stretches of events around between tracks. In cases like those there’s no way for rippling to know where I want them so you just get used to moving them around as a group manually. But for a simple delete, ripple editing gets it done with little fuss.

Thanks for the tips I’ll try this out next chance I get. Now if I can get a solution to problem 1.

Sounds like you may have “docked” your text window. Look in the upper left hand corner of the text window…you will see some vertical “dots”. Click your mouse on those dots and drag the window. That will “undock” it.
