FCP Ripple Cut to Clipboard (shift-X) in Premiere?
Hi All, I’m making the switch to Premiere and can’t figure out how to make a ripple cut (shift-X) in FCP and have the cut clip go to the clipboard so I can paste it elsewhere.
In FCP I used the ripple cut (shift-X) and ripple insert (shift-V) all the time to quickly reorder shots in the timeline. Is there a way of doing this in Premiere without copying the clip to clipboard first before ripple deleting it? In FCP ripple cut would send the clip to the clipboard, cut it from the timeline, and close the gap in one keystroke (shift-X).
Alternatively, can I make a custom macro to do this?
Thanks!

Sigh. Tried. Thought it worked (in a slightly different way), but it doesn’t seem to.
Meanwhile, it’s 3 key presses.
Copy, opt delete (ripple delete) then a Paste Insert.
You’ll need something like Quickkeys to build the first two as a single keypress.

Thanks Jeff. So close to loving Premiere … but despite all the bells and whistles, doesn’t seem to have some of the basics that dramatically improve efficiency.
Thanks for your help!

Wow, thank you Vijay! I am pretty sure many people are having this conundrum but few have replied. I loved the old FCP method but the Extract function that you suggested in Premiere also works great.
