    Okay heres the thing,

    I edited my short film using Sony Vegas from start to finish. The film was completed and rendered. Then I realised the film was too long in duration. So i went into vegas to chop it down in length. I deleted one really long clip at the start of the film BUT i don’t know how to move the rest of the clips to the left of the timeline all at once so there is’nt a black gap where the deleted clip once was. I know how to move each clip one by one but that would take me weekes with the amount of shots there are!

    So basically; how do you move a large number of audio and video clips (all in seperate tracks) all at once?

    Hope someone can help me out.

    Thanks for reading,
    Aidan

    Hi Aidan,

    there are two ways to move all the clips from the left to fill the gap.

    1) press – control A, which will select everything in your timeline at once, you can then drag it to the right as you wish.

    2) use – auto ripple (9th icon from the right up the top of the page) it looks like this https://i1.creativecow.net/u/124788/ripple.jpg
    choose the second option down and it should move everything at once.

    good luck

    Or you can right click the event after the gap and then choose ‘Select events to end’ and then simply drag and close the gap.

    If you have multiple tracks, such as video and separate mp3 and titles, you can Ctrl click on the first event of each, and once you are happy with your selection, click on ‘select events to end’ and then do the move by dragging.

    I am assuming you do not have a multicam edit.
