Hi,
During creation of my recent job project with VS9 in edit mode, I often got the error message that "ripple editing will not be applied" if I continue. This would occur when I was moving clips around the timeline or between it and the overlay track and true to its word, ripple editing did not occur.
I dont understand this since I had clicked on the button on the left side of each track to engage ripple editing (button turns blue). Can anyone please suggest what I might be doing wrong.
Regards,
Don

It sounds a little confusing. This is what should have happened if ripple editing was applied. The clips in the overlay track, any titles and music, which have ripple editing enabled, should have moved, they did not.
Ripple editing only applies to changes made to the Main video track. You can move clips on any other track around, ripple editing does not function there. If you insert a clip to the left of a clip on the Main video track, all the overlay tracks that have ripple editing enabled, should move to the right to say in sync with the clip(s) on the Main track. When you move a clip from the Main track to an overlay track, then you get the prompt you mentioned. It can not ripple correctly when one of the overlay tracks you're moving a clip to has ripple editing enabled.
Hope that makes it a little clearer..

Strange behavior of ripple editing
Thanks again Vidoman and Steve, you've come to my rescue again. Seems I was using it improperly because it works only with clips removed/added on the main video track.
I had marked up some images with text, arrows etc. but found that when viewed on TV, some parts of them were outside the safe viewing area and not showing up properly. To fix this I attempted to drag the images to the overlay track, then insert a black clip of the same length to its previous location. After resizing the overlay image to be within the safe area, I noticed everything else had shifted.
By the way that was a very good tutorial, Steve...thanks.
