By doing so, the clips beyond the edit points are adjusted by the same value as your adjustment to that item. |

Options
Ripple Editing
Ripple editing is a good way to perform an edit within a busy timeline and maintain sync relationships. When you perform a ripple edit, you are essentially adjusting the duration of a clip by manipulating its start and finish points. By doing so, the clips beyond the edit points are adjusted by the same value as your adjustment to that item.
[Click Here For a GREAT tutorial on ripple editing]
- Off
This is the default mode. Items will not shift when you perform edits on a track.
- One Track
If you select the ripple editing option once, it will select 'one track' ripple editing. This means anything you do to items on that track will affect other items of the same track. flash example below:
- All Tracks
If you select the ripple editing option twice, it will enable All tracks ripple editing. This means anything you do to ANY of the items on ANY track will affect the ENTIRE project. Helpful for deleting entire sections of songs.
Flash example below:
The above examples are macromedia flash files... you may need to left click, then right click and press play.
Media Item Auto Crossfades
Auto Crossfades make it so that when you slide one item into another, MIDI or audio, an automatic fade is created between them. Below are more flash examples:
- Off
- On
Item Grouping
This will toggle Item Grouping. Grouped items will move and be edited together. If this is turned off, the grouping will cease to work and they will move independently.
Enable Snapping
This will toggle snapping to the grid. Items will snap to the specified grid locations. That is to say that they will snap to the grid lines. The amount of 'snap' will depend on the resolution that you specify in the snap settings. If you turn this off, items will move freely of the grid and will not snap to the lines.

If you want to jump from one part of the time line to another without playing in between those parts then enable this, and go to the measure you want to hear next.
