This may have helped me with a problem I encountered last night but I want to confirm because the situation is a bit more difficult. I’m editing a music video and have put seven different location takes of the artist singing her song and manually sync’d them all to the master audio recording. This can’t be done in the monitor view so the timeline was the only way to sync all the video to the audio track.

Tell me if I have this right. Let’s say I want to use clips from the beach take. I use the razor tool to cut a 3 second piece at 1:10 then a 14 second piece at 1:42 then a 5 second piece at 2:18. I then select and delete the portions of the clips between those selections but do not use Ripple because I want those short clips to remain exactly where they are which is snyc’d to the audio.

Is this the best way to do this? Any suggestions on a better way to do this? Thanks!
