136 Chapter 7 Timeline Playback, Navigation, and Editing

A ripple edit is a one-sided edit, meaning that you can only use it to adjust the In or

Out point of a single shot. All shots following the one you’ve adjusted are moved—to

the left if you’ve shortened it, or to the right if you’ve lengthened it. This is a significant

operation that can potentially affect the timing of your entire program.

Important: Ripple edits can be dangerous if you are trying to maintain sync between

your program in Color, and the original audio in the Final Cut Pro sequence or source

EDL that is being mixed somewhere else entirely, since the shots in your Color project

may move forward or backward while the externally synced audio doesn’t.

To make a ripple edit:

1 Do one of the following to choose the Ripple edit tool:

Â Choose Timeline > Ripple Tool.

Â Press Control-T.

2 Move the pointer to the In or Out point of the shot you want to shorten or lengthen,

and drag it either left or right to make the edit.

The Timeline updates to reflect the edit you’re making, with all of the shots following the

one you’re adjusting moving to the left or right to accommodate the change in timing.

Slip Tool

Performing a slip edit doesn’t change a shot’s position or duration in the Timeline;

instead it changes what portion of that shot’s media appears in the Timeline by letting

you change its In and Out points simultaneously.

This means that the portion of the shot that plays in the Timeline changes, while its

position in the Timeline stays the same. No other shots in the Timeline are affected by a

slip edit, and the overall duration of the project remains unaffected.

In the example above, the slip edit changes the In and Out points of shot B, but not its

duration or position with the sequence. When the sequence plays back, a different

portion of shot B’s media will be shown.
