The Premiere Pro 2 help center says, concerning ripple edts, "The edit point is dragged earlier in time—shortening the preceding clip and the total program duration."
It doesn't seem to do this with me. When I use the ripple edit, the clip that I use it on just gets longer which the preceding clip stays the same length and the total program duration in fact gets longer, and not shorter.
The rolling edit seems to work as described, the clip I use the edit on gets longer while the preceding clip is shortened (the amount of frames I increase the in point on the one clip is the same amount of frames that the outclip of the preceding clip is shortened by)
Am I doing anything wrong concerning not getting the described result with the ripple edit...I've noticed that it does work, but only when I use it on the edit-out point of a clip.
Do any of you really make use of these tools? Especially the Slide and Slip tools, whose concept I can't seem to grasp either...
Is a:
Rolling edit: Used to lengthen one clip, while shortening the clip before it to keep the program duration the same.
Ripple edit: Lengthen one clip, while leaving the clip before it the same and lengthening the program duration (contrary to the what the help center says)
Slip Edit: Changes the In and Out points of the clip without lengthening or shortening it or otherwise changing it's duration
Slide Edit: It moves the location of the center clip earlier in the sequence and shortens the preceeding clip and lengthens the proceeding clip but leaves the center clip's duration unchanged.
Are these right?
