Well, that’s kinda what I’m looking for, I suppose — seems inelegant compared to the “Ripple Edit” toggle in Vegas, I have to say. But it’s certainly closer than what I’d found up to now.
Am I crazy, though? It seems to me there should be some sort of idiot-proof function which allows for altering, adding or removing clips in the middle of my timeline while keeping all of the remaining dozens (or hundreds!) of clips in the timeline automatically synced with one another. Does the user actually have to manually maintain all these clips?
