T Tool of 7 also in X?

Then a gap is the way to go, as has been mentioned.

Another thing to do is to select the first clip you want to move in the primary, shift click that last clip in the primary (which, in turn, selects all primary clips in between the first selected clip and the last clip), and then type “+1.” which will shift everything from the selected clip down 1 second, and put a 1 second gap in the primary before the first selected clip. You can, of course, choose to enter whatever time you want, 10 second, 2 hours, etc. You won’t have to worry about selecting the connected clips as they will move along with the primary clips.

Just an alternative if you like driving by keyboard like I do.

That is an excellent tip thank you…sometimes inserting gaps can be a bit of a pain for some reason

My journey with FCPX only really began for real once I grasped the Gaps thing. Until then I was battling the software.

Use of Gaps is fundamental to the way I work now and i I were to write a manual, chapter one paragraph one would be to point out that you have to get your head round and use Gaps.

That said I seem to recall Bret does not use them much so it depends on the way you think I suppose.
