Removing Elements from an Edit Sequence

When you remove an element from an edit sequence gesturally, the effect depends on whether Ripple is on or off. When Ripple is off, you lift an element, leaving a gap in place of the lifted element.

When Ripple is on, you extract an element, and the edit sequence collapses to fill the gap left by the extracted element.

You can lift or extract elements from the timeline independently of the Ripple mode using hot keys.

To lift or extract an element from an edit sequence using hot keys:

1. Select the element you want to lift or extract or mark in and out points around the material.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Press L (period) to lift the element from the timeline, leaving a gap in place of the lifted element.

     The lifted element is placed in the schematic.

   • Press X to extract the element from the timeline and ripple the remainder of the timeline to fill the gap.

     The extracted element is placed in the schematic.

   TipTo delete the element, hold down Shift when pressing the hot key.

To gesturally remove an element from an edit sequence:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Turn off Ripple to lift.
   • Turn on Ripple to extract.
2. Select the element that you want to lift or extract and drag it out of the timeline.
   NoteYou can also lift or extract gaps on the timeline.

To gesturally copy an element to the schematic:

1. To copy the entire element, press Alt+Shift and drag the element to the schematic.

   To copy the material between in and out points, press Ctrl+' to select the material and then press Alt+Shift and drag the element to the schematic.
