In PE 2018, time stretch of clip affects other clips

Hi,

I have noticed that in a multi track project, when I time stretch or change the start or ending of a clip, it affects the start times of some of the other clips. Why? How do disable this behavior?

Due to "stay at home", I am producing virtual choir videos for my church. We typically have 25-30 tracks. In the most recent project, we had a narrator at one of the early tracks. I produce the audio in a separate audio editor (a DAW). In order to sync the narrator's video with his audio, I needed to time stretch him. Upon doing so, nearby clips were moved. I'm guessing that PE may be moving any clips that occur *after* the end of the stretched clip, because most of the clips started beforehand and were not affected.

Thank you,

Todd

EDIT: I just checked, and it seems to be pulling in clips on just two tracks, the ones immediately above and below. Certainly not the behavior I would want.

Hi Steve,

I edited one of my replies with an additional comment/question. Not sure if you saw it. I have held down the Alt key (on a PC here) and the timeline rippling is not being restricted to the one clip that I'm on. Here are my repro steps: Select clip. Right click to bring up options. Select clip / time stretch. Press and hold Alt. Adjust speed, hit OK. Release Alt.

Adjacent clips still move.

What am I missing?

I've got a book on Amazon if you want nearly 300 pages of hints like that. 😉
