The following procedure describes in detail how you can use the control panel to ripple a
change to a range of other clips. While this procedure may appear complicated, it’s just that
there are several options. Once you learn the sequence of commands, this process is actually
quite fast.
To ripple a change using the Ripple Mode soft key commands:
1 (Optional) Press MODES, then press RIPPLE MODES. Four commands appear mapped
to the middle soft keys of the Center panel, which can be used later to execute different
types of ripple operations.
2 Move the playhead to the clip you want to adjust.
3 Adjust the current clip that you want to ripple to other clips in the Timeline.
4 Define the range of clips you want to ripple to using the number pad on the Transport
panel. The following combinations will work:
An absolute range of clips is defined by entering two clip numbers separated by a
comma. For example, if you want to ripple the current change to clips 10 through 15,
you’d press “10, 15”
To specify every clip from the beginning of the Timeline, use the Minus (–) key. For
example, to specify a range of clips from the beginning to clip 20, you’d press “–, 20”
To specify every clip to the end of the Timeline, use the Plus (+) key. For example, to
specify a range of clips from the clip 50 to the end, you’d press “50, +”
To specify every clip in the whole Timeline, press “–, +”
5 (Optional) You can control whether the rippled change is applied in an appended node,
or an existing node, in every rippled clip:
If you want to apply the rippled change as a new node that’s appended to the end of
every rippled clip’s grade, press SHIFT DOWN.
Otherwise, the rippled change will be applied to the same node in every rippled clip
that you made your adjustment to in the current clip. In other words, if you made a
change to Node 2, it would be rippled to Node 2 of all the clips you specified. If one of
the rippled clips doesn’t have the same number of nodes, you may get an error.
6 To execute the ripple, do one of the following:
Press RIPPLE VALUE on the Transport panel to ripple a change using the currently
selected Ripple Mode in the Color panel of the User Preferences.
Press one of the Center panel soft keys corresponding to the ripple function you want
to perform. There are four soft keys:
Static Ripple: Changes made to the current clip are rippled to the specified clips
using the exact parameters that were changed. For example, if Lift in the current clip
is changed to 0.75 of its range, each clip you ripple will have a Master Gain setting of
0.75. Only parameters you adjust are rippled. Identical to the “Exact values changed”
ripple setting.
Relative Ripple: Changes made to the current clip are rippled to the specified clips
by the percentage of change you made to the altered parameters. For example, if the
current clip has a Lift level of 1.00 and is changed to 0.90 units, then the Lift setting of
each clip you ripple will have a relative reduction of 10% relative to its previous value.
Identical to the “Percent value changed” ripple setting.
