  • endless ripple delete

    Posted by K Hendrickson on October 14, 2005 at 7:52 pm

    I’m running FCP 4.5 on a dual 1.8 G5 and every time I highlight a clip and hit the backward delete key I get a ripple delete instead. This should only happen when hitting shift + delete, or hitting the forward delete, right? Trashed prefs many times, copied and pasted into new timelines many times. Am I caught in some ripple delete mode that I don’t know about?

    The forward delete key will always ripple delete (the one with the little x on it right?). You have it backwards I think.

    Yes, there are two delete keys on the keyboard.

    The “delete” key to the right of the +/= key will NON-Ripple delete (if you don’t hold down the shift key).

    The “del” key with the x inside the arrow (below the “help” key) will always Ripple delete (if that edit is “allowed” by FCP.

    So, there is no reason you know of why my delete key would be fuctioning as a ripple delete?

    Stuck “shift” key?

    Re-programmed (re-mapped) keyboard?

    I checked the keyboard mapping and all looks correct. I think I have a buggy project file on my hands.

    Thanks,
