Return Ripple Delete Head Frame to the Q Key - We don't want to press a second key!

Hello.

 

This article uses a translator.

 

I am using it after updating from Premiere 2021 version to 2022 version.

 

The ripple delete function that worked normally in the 2021 version does not work in the 2022 version.

 

I have attached a video for you to check.

 

The keyboard shortcut you are familiar with is 'Q'.

 

I am looking for an answer to this problem.

 

Anyone know how to solve it?

We have added the desired functionality, Ripple trim of first frame when you are at the head of a clip, as a new shortcut - Ripple Delete Head Frame. This is in the current Premiere Pro 22.5 Beta (build 032+) available in Creative Cloud.

 

Back by popular demand you can ripple delete one frame at a time with your preferred keyboard shortcut. To use it, set up a Keyboard Shortcut (Option-Command-K) and search for “Ripple Delete Head Frame.” Once you have designated your KBS, position your playhead before the extraneous frames, press your chosen KBS and delete one frame at a time until you land on your ideal first frame. Try it out and let us know what you think!

This is inferior to the previous behaviour as I have to bind it to another key.

Also why is there no ripple delete tail frame?

This was such a useful, time saving, feature allowing me to cut approximately then tweak precisely with the same key. I really don't understand changing it.

Hi,

Thanks for your post. I can understand the cases you have made for ripple trim to playhead. Feel free to share your idea with the team here. Sorry for the frustration. 

 

Take Care,

J.G.,

Sorry. The behavior you are used to is not the way the tool was originally designed, so the feature you liked was actually a bug fix. However, many editors grew used to the ability to trim with Q as you showed - and they consider the fix to be a bug. Frustrating, I know.

 

The way the tool was designed: you have to move the playhead, then press Q. Others have also brought up this issue. You can let the team know about the issue on this thread. Perhaps the devs can bring back this behavior in some way in the future. Let them know, OK?

 

Thanks,

Kevin

We need one key press (needs to be Q, and W), for one frame removal. Not in some way, bring it back.
