ONE ARROW I have. Hey, this option doesn't work AT ALL. This is not working.

How to do what I want?
I never seen a two arrows in Adobe premiere in my life...


ONE ARROW I have.

OK, that's normal for CS6 and earlier.  It selects only one track, and you need to hold down SHIFT to select all tracks.  Then you will see it change to a double arrow.

CC changed this so that now all tracks (double arrow) is the default, and you hit SHIFT to select only one track.

I moved my music down and locked the music bar to continue working on my project and it allowed me to use my ripple delete hotkeys again. hope to help others out with the same issue!

I found if there's a green audio track under/touching a blue audio track that's linked to a video clip, the ripple function will not work. I dropped my green audio down one track so they were no longer touching and ripple delete worked again.

I'm realizing I'm digging up a relatively old forum string here, but I continue to run into some odd inconsistencies with the basic functionality of trimming, and things in the land of ripple delete. Most notably, why when trimming when using Command drag left/right will move some assets in the timeline, but not all of the assets in a time line.

I've included a very short video describing what I'm running into. Oddly, in the example, ripple delete works, but NOT command drag...and I just don't quite understand what the issue is. This has gotten quite a bit harrier when working on more complex sequences...because I'll be moving along in a particular area of the timeline, not knowing I'm making all kinds of stuff out of sync later on.

Is this a bug, or just some kind of user error on my part?

Hi! I was having the same problem, and found that by locking all other layers of audio, I was able to then ripple delete clips. Just lick on the lock to the left of the audio that you don't want to delete.

The only reason Ripple Delete doesn't work is because there are clips on other tracks that would prevent the ripple.

Yes Jim Simon, I know it but in Sony Vegas Pro we can move the all by special function. So I want to know hot to do the same in Premiere Pro. I have many tracks above and below but I still want to use ripple delete to all of my clips move along somewhere. How to do it?
