Ripple Cut

I would love for Premiere to have a ripple cut. It has a ripple delete and a ripple paste, but it does not have a ripple cut.  Right now I have to click a clip, press command+C to copy it, press shift+delete to ripple delete it and then press shift+v to ripple paste it somewhere else. I would just like to press shift+x to ripple cut it and copy to my clipboard and the shift+v to ripple paste it elsewhere. Final Cut 7 had a ripple cut and I used it all the time. It's been 10 years now and Premiere still doesnt have a ripple cut.

    Hey,

    Just found out if you make a selection with In and Out and hit Extract, it "ripple cuts" the selection to the clipboard. Then you can just ripple paste.

    I am just switching from FCPx back to Premiere after ten years just to find out that almost nothing has changed. When you are used to the magnetic timeline this just feels so outdated.. There is seriously no way to ripple cut?? Or is this a mistake??

      It sounds like you really want to rearrange the order of clips on your timeline without leaving an open space.  You can do this by holding command+option while you drag.  This method is a lot more flexible and powerful than what you suggest, but I do like the idea of having a ripple-cut command just like what you spelled out.
