Cutting and handling dialogue scenes
Here’s my question du jour:
I’m cutting a narrative dialogue scene and am doing L and J cuts. As I review and refine the scene, there are events on the timeline that I want to trim a bit to tighten things up. I’ll select the event, then click CTRL + ] to trim it.
I then notice that some of the events down the timeline are pink, meaning they’re out of sync.
What’s the best workflow for doing this and keeping things in the timeline in sync?
Thanks.

You didn’t leave ripple edit on when tou adjusted your L/J edits?

Phil is correct, you need to have Auto Ripple enabled for that.

I think I did have it on. But I can’t remember exactly. I’ll have to experiment.
Should Auto Ripple be on? If so, should it be set to All Tracks?

Autoripple is a personal decision. I rarely have it on, but it comes in handy when keeping ungrouped events in sync, like you described.

I have this happen all the time especially when I’m doing multi track editing…
The audio track is a white color and everything is synced. BUT then when I slide it to touch the event to the left, as soon as it hits that event the audio track turns pink indicating that it’s out of sync.
I’ve learned to live with it as the audio seems fine but it always worries me.
When I slide the event with the audio to the right again, it then turns white.
Anyone know what’s going on there?Roger Bansemer – PaintingAndTravel.com

I guess I’ll just have to be careful in such instances!
Any tricks you’ve learned along the way in such situations?
