Is there any way to "ripple nudge" a clip to an adjacent clip?

[DKhab]

Hey all,

Is there a keyboard shortcut to "ripple nudge" a clip to an adjacent clip? I want to be able to move a cut clip (within a sequence) next to an adjacent clip on the same track without moving all of the other clips in the track (which ripple delete would do).

Thanks!

I dont think so but its a very good idea and would be handy

Butt Left or Butt Right

Sounds like you want to slide. There are shortcuts for sliding 1 or 5 frames at a time. You can also nudge clip selection, but it does leave behind a gap. Please try it and report back if one of those functions is what you wanted to do. If not, please let me know.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,

Thanks for your answer.

Sliding is not what I'm looking for. I was aware of the feature.

What I'm looking for is a "ripple slide". In the image below - I'd like to slide the selected clips over to the left clip with one keyboard shortcut while keeping the right hand clips where they are. It would be really helpful for cutting up interviews while retaining timecode from clients.

Slightly different to what I thought...so here is what I do...(and I am doing this as we speak)

I have my select interview parts  in a Sequence and the client has a TC movie of that sequence.

Client listed some preferences

So...

I got to that clip in the sequence and ALT /Up Arrow... so the Video Nudges up One Track.  It now stands out in Sequence so I can use it as and when I am ready.   Its a system I have used for ever and it keep so the TC References relevant.

FWiW - If I want to super select my clip choice...I Nudge it up Two Tracks.   SIMPLE eh!

I would still like to be able to Butt Left and Butt Right..... Kevin.

Butt Left and Right is still useful for other purposes. Time to request a feature!

As for marking clips, I set my F5-11 keys as shortcuts for labels and use colors (which allows me to keep my layer structure simple when dealing with multicam and b-roll).

Drag it.

[DKhab]

Haha. That's too much of a.... drag when trying to work quickly.
I'm big into keyboard shortcuts (I've customized my keyboard shortcuts so that I pretty much never have to move my left hand while editing) and would love one for this.

Whats your right hand doing?

I have posted a Feature Request if others wish to support it...copy and paste.

Wishform - Adobe Premiere Pro

How would you like the feature to work?

Select a Clip (or asset) in the timeline.

Use a shortcut key (or combination) that "butts: the clip to the next edit point (clip/asset) left or right..... without Rippling the tracks.

(Rippling Tracks already has effective tools)

Why is this feature important to you?

The ability to quickly tighten and compile a sequence without gaps.

Gettin' a little personal there, eh?

Avid DS had a 'ripple end' marker - you mark that at the out point of your selected clip then go and ripple delete the gap before it.

I prefer the idea of butting left/right. adobe.com/go/wish

Avid MC has the ability to enter timecodes on the sequence for source timecodes. E.g. I can view A2 source timecode and enter timecodes relevant to that track in the timeline directly.
