Reaper: Ripple editing media item edges
ReaperDemo summary
A demonstration of enabling ripple editing for media item edges, allowing the user to trim or expand an item while automatically shifting all subsequent items in the timeline.
Step-by-step
- Locate the Ripple Edit icon on the main toolbar.
- Right-click the Ripple Edit icon to open the settings menu.
- Enable the option 'Ripple edit when editing media item edges'.
- Click and drag the right edge of a media item to expand or trim it.
- Observe subsequent items shifting automatically to maintain or close gaps.
Options
