Re: cleaning up tons of (mostly junk) footage... any tips?

HI;

Jeff, I've lived with this same annoyance for years, and also wondered about "ripple" ... auto, manual, button-shift or whatever.... ;-p .

Are you saying that this ripple thing of which you speak can set rid of sections of blankness on the time-line? In other words, save me from dragging little sections of events for miles and miles to the right and left?

Finally, why the heck is it named "ripple?" That has bothered me for a long time. Kind of made me afraid of it - makes me think it is something that will produce a water-splash ripple effect.

heh .
