Snapping clips back together on timeline 1

[steve360]

Hi all. I didn't se this one yet: If I have a bunch of clips on the timeline and then take out one clip, it leaves a blank spot and I have to drag over all the other clips. It takes a long time. Any way to click on something to bring them together?

Also excited that I can use all my extra downloaded fonts in the title creation of Premiere.

Thanks

You right click the blank spot and choose "Ripple Delete" If you have other tracks (Audio/Video) with content on the timeline at the same time you have to lock those tracks first by click the empy box at the beginning of the timeline next to the speaker/eye for those tracks.

If you just feel like noodling multiple layers, click on and hold down the group selection tool (the little box). It should pop up a choice of little boxes. One of the little boxes has a couple of arrows in it.

This will let you click on the timeline and it will select everything on every track to the right of the click-point. It has been very handy for me, as I have a big project with six layers of video and 11 layers of audio and some of the audio is only a fraction of a second long.

I discovered much to my dismay that if you use the ordinary box-edit and expand the timeline of your 2-hour project to be able to select a bunch of clips, that Premiere won't select clips that aren't in pixel form on the timeline. Which means that if you have an audio clip that is 1/4 of a second long and you're looking at the 2-hour view, you won't see that tiny clip -- and neither will Premiere acknowledge it in a grab-everything-in-the-box edit. How screwed up is that?

Good luck!

Cheers,


Edward

Ah yeah. This ripple delete works. Awesome. Thanks all. Still gotta try the fancy click and hold but will give it a shot. Wow, all these details. Premiere is the stuff.

I'm having a similar problem, but just the reverse of Ripple Delete. I've just finished a project with multimple layers and now i need to go back an put credits on the front end of it. How can I move the timeline back :30 to make room for my credits without destroying the already rendered project that follows?

You can still use the method of the "double arrow" that EdwardMartinIII was speaking of. You can move it forward and backward. You can also select it anywhere in your timeline if you need to add stuff in the middle without messing up the rest of your project in the timeline. Comes in VERY handy for me!

Thanks very much Boonedoggle! You've helped me pass a major hurdle!
