how to ripple delete in premiere pro
HeyBraza points at the razor tool and the ripple-delete shortcut so your cuts close the gap instead of leaving black.
trimming in premiere is two skills: cutting a clip in two, and deleting a piece so everything after it slides over to fill the gap. mix them up and your timeline fills with awkward black gaps. here's both, cleanly.
short answer
ripple delete is shift+delete - it removes the selected clip and closes the gap automatically, where a plain delete leaves a hole in the timeline. to cut a clip first, press c for the razor tool and click where you want the cut, then press v, select the piece you don't want and press shift+delete.
or do it yourself
- 1press 'c' to grab the razor tool, then click the clip where you want to cut it.
- 2press 'v' to return to the selection tool and click the piece you want to remove.
- 3press 'shift + delete' (ripple delete) so the gap closes and the rest of the timeline slides left.
- 4to trim an end instead of cutting, drag the clip's left or right edge inward.
- 5hold the edge and watch the program monitor preview to land the trim exactly on the right frame.
