Ripple / Insert edit

You want to add more material but not affect the timing?

If I understand you correctly, the only way to avoid affecting clips that are after the edit point is to do a replace edit, or add the new clip as a connected clip above the storyline.

Do you want the later part of a clip connected to the main storyline to ripple when you insert your clip? If so, you need to split the connected clip first by selecting it and choosing Blade from the Edit menu (or presssing Command-B). You can also use the blade tool.

Or do you mean that clips in connected storylines that are connected earlier in your timeline aren't rippled when you do an insert in the main storyline?

If you would like the clips in secondary storylines to ripple, you'll need to divide the connected storyline into two:

1. Choose where you'd like to insert your new clip

2. Select the secondary storyline

3. If there's no edit point in the secondary storyline, add one by choosing Blade from the Edit menu (or press Command-B)

4. Select the clips in the secondary storyline after your edit

5. Hold down the shift key (to stop the selected clips moving backwards or forwards in time) and drag upwards until the mouse pointer is outside the secondary storyline. That will remove the clips from the secondary storyline and add them as individual connected clips to the primary storyline.

6. Turn these connected clips into a storyline by choosing Create Storyline from the Clip menu (or press Command-G)

7. Insert the clip or range in a a clip selected in the current event by choosing Insert from the Edit menu (or pressing w)
