Question

Ripple Edit Tool on multiple clips trimming different number of frames and leaving gaps

I updated to CC2018 v12 today and the way my ripple edit trim tool works has changed.


When selecting multiple edit points to ripple trim, it no longer trims them all equally or shifts the clips along the timeline. Now, it trims each clip one extra frame than specified and leaves an ever increasing gap.

Image 01 - I have five image clips all 10 frames long in the timeline and I want to trim the out points by 1 frame.

Image 02 - I select all the out points and ripple trim them 1 frame. Now my first clip is 9fr, second clip 8fr, third clip 7fr and so on...it also leaves the in points as they were instead of shifting everything along like it used to, this is resulting in gaps.

I'm using .jpgs in the screen grabs but have also tested with video files and get the same result.

Please note that the main issue here is that it is trimming a different number of frames from each clip, I'm aware I can close gaps on the new version. Though I much preferred when it automatically deleted these gaps in ripple trim mode.

Is this a bug?

    This is still broken in Version 12.1.1 (Build 10)

    We just updated on our show to 2018 from 2018, on Windows 10.

    Is worth sticking with 2018, I hear it might be best to skip right to 2019 when using Windows 10.

    There is definitely something dodgy going on here. If I ripple trim multiple edits I get clips overlapping each other which should be impossible:

      Yes I get the same issue too when adding frames to multiple clips in ripple trim mode

      I enter ripple trim mode (B) and then use the mouse to select all five out points. Then I use cntrl left arrow to trim one frame.
