I need ripple editing to let me move everything that’s to the right of my cursor further left, w/o touching what’s on the left side of the cursor. I just want to fill a gap, like when there’s too much silence or when cutting a few seconds off a project. I don’t want to shift everything.

What exactly do you mean by "I don't want to shift everything"? As I think of it, shifting everything is the point of ripple editing.

So I guess I don’t want full ripple editing for that task. But I want that functionality on the right-hand clips (keep everything aligned and move them all left) but I want the left-hand clips to say put.

When I drag a clip from right to left, it also pushes the clip on the left further left. Which keeps the same space between the clips & just moves the entire piece left.

But let’s say I’ve got a pause between 2 clips that’s too long. I want to pull clips from right to left to shorten the silence between clips.

It’s hard to explain in words! It works for me when inserting new tape in the middle of a piece. It pushes everything to the right of that insertion point further right to make room.

Definitely hard to explain audio stuff in words! If you show me a screenshot or a video I might understand better. I think I'm getting hung up on how the left clips get pushed further left with ripple editing. My experience is that they stay put.

Watch, I will probably not be able to reproduce my issue. 😂

Ok, thank you! I’ll make a video in a little while. :)

You may not be surprised to learn that I was, in fact, not able to re-create the ripple editing problem I described. 🙃 So I must have had additional clips selected when I was trying to move clips to the left.

It's always fun to self-own, loudly, in public. 😅
