Ripple extend a clip?

[RobHebert]

Hello all,

So, I know you can use "ripple delete" to remove a section of audio from a clip and automatically slide all subsequent clips on the track left to remove the gap. And you can use "insert silence" to *add* a gap and slide all subsequent clips on the track to the right.

BUT is there such a thing as "ripple add" (or similar) where you can drag a clip into a track and and all subsequent clips on the track slide right to make room (as with FCP's magnetic timeline, or shuffle mode in Pro Tools)?

Is there such a thing as "ripple extend" (or similar) where you can use the bracket tool to extend a clip in either direction, and it will slide subsequent clips to adjust for the extended/trimmed audio? IIRC, Premiere has a ripple trim tool (the yellow bracket) that does this. I'd be surprised if Audition didn't have something similar. it helps a lot with timing edits around breaths and so forth.

Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately there isn't such a feature at the moment in Audition. There has been a feature request for Ripple Insert AFAIAA but it hasn't been implemented as of yet. So why not add your feature request to the list. The more requests the more likely it might appear eventually.

The only way to do what you want at the moment is to select all the clips from the play cursor to the end and manually shift them to the right. This can be helped by one or two keyboard shortcuts although you may have to customise the Select Clips to End of Session since this doesn't have a shortcut by default. Once selected you can move all the clips at once either using the mouse or the Nudge Clips to the Right shortcut Alt+. or Shift+Alt+. for larger movements.
