Ripple MOVE function for Clips (instead of just Delete or Insert)

Look guys... everyone else is doing it. It's very simple. And this lack of functionality has actually caused us to move away from Audition for recent episodes.

It works like this:

Step 1) Enable Ripple editing (global)

Step 2) Move a clip

Step 3) Watch all the other clips subsequent to that one, on all tracks or just one track (as selected by you), move by the exact same amount - so you're not overwriting by accident on the one hand, or having to zoom way out on your timeline in order to manually select everything that has to move as well on the other (except for Markers of course, apparently we're still not allowed to select them for movement no matter what).

BONUS: Markers will follow the movement of clips as well under Ripple, and are not permanently pinned to the timeline - so that the really important thing you wanted to remind yourself to insert a visual aid for later stays atop the appropriate content it was created for in the first place.

There is no excuse for not already having this functionality in an Audio program of your caliber, and I would honestly love to know what upcoming features are of a higher priority for your team to work on than this. I tried to include a 77MB Visual Demonstration that I spent about :30 mins putting together, but the robot told me "Sorry, we couldn't submit your request." I'll upload it to our channel. 🙂

Thank you for saying this! I'm having to create a radio fiction show for a class, and I am tearing my hair out trying to do these timing edits without a ripple feature (especially since we're all bad at voice acting, so I have to do a LOT of edits). If I wasn't specifically required to do this on Adobe Audition, I would have given up and uninstalled the software 5 minutes in.
