So that was a brief info on Ripple editing and how to use it in Sony Vegas when you have multiple clips to deal with. If you don’t want a track to me moved, like a master music track, lock it and then start editing. All tracks are affected while you edit in ripple mode.Once you have added the video, you can turn on ripple editing. While adding a new clip to a track, turn off the ripple editing.Therefore, always make sure you group the tracks to the audio which you want to be together before applying ripple effect. Ripple editing can dangerous if you have multiple tracks and if they are not grouped together.Ripple editing sure makes it easy to edit the clips on the timeline, but there are some points you need to look out for. Once you have the option enabled all the clips will take up the empty space in the timeline when you edit the clips. You can also enable the option by using the shortcut key Ctrl+L and then continue with editing the timeline. However, in the latest version, the option has been moved to the Options menu. In older versions of Sony Vegas, you could find the option as an icon in the toolbar. To edit tracks in the ripple mode in Sony Vegas, you need to enable it in the settings. So in simple words, ripple editing is a way to edit timelines without leaving a gap in between. This way, the continuity is intact and you don’t have to manually select clips to move them on the timeline. Similarly, if you extend a clip, room will be made pushing all the other clips in the timeline. So let’s say you shrink a clip, all the segments following that clip will automatically move forward to take up the empty space. Any disturbance in it is automatically adjusted by the subsequent clips automatically. In Ripple Editing, the entire timeline with various media files in different tracks is considered to be one ripple.

This post will help you with general idea you can use on any professional editing tool. Note: Ripple Editing is available in many professional video editing tools and not just limited to Sony Vegas. Trying out Ripple Editing is your best bet in such scenarios, And before we see how you can carry it out in Sony Vegas Pro, let me quickly tell you what it is and how it can be useful. Also, if there’s more than one edit you are trying to make, you can imagine the kind of mess it might create. The gap that the video created while you trimmed it needs to be filled, and manually selecting the media files and moving them on the editing timeline can be tough. The biggest challenge is to rearrange the elements after you make a small change in the timeline. Especially where the editing timeline has too many elements to work with, editing between the clips can be quite a task. Though, It would definitely help if you do a lot of multicamera work.If you are into hardcore video editing with too many clips and media segments to work on, you must know the pain of micro-editing. The Adjacent Trim tool seems to do the trick most times. Although, I don’t see myself using it often.

Overall, this new Expanded Edit Mode can be very useful when getting cuts just right.

We’ll get into editing with the numeric keys in a future tutorial. Red brackets indicate which event edge will be trimmed if you’re editing with the numeric keypad. The greyed out areas just show the rest of the events so you can get an idea of how much footage you have to work with. You’ll notice events are now laid out differently in A/B roll tracks.Įvents before the edit point are displayed on the A roll track while all the following events are placed on the B roll track.
