Support & Learning

Your timeline behavior is currently affected by either Auto Ripple or Magnetic Timeline functionality. Here's how these features work:

Auto Ripple Mode

• When Enabled (default state):

  • Deleting a clip automatically shifts subsequent clips forward to fill the gap

  • Inserting a clip pushes all following clips (across all tracks) backward to make space

  • Creates uniform gaps at the insertion point on all tracks

• When Disabled:

  • Maintains absolute clip positions on the timeline

  • Deleting leaves empty space where the clip was removed

  • Inserting won't affect existing clip positions

Magnetic Timeline Mode

• Inserting a clip only affects clips on:

  • The current track where insertion occurs

  • Adjacent/linked tracks (if any)

• All other tracks remain completely unaffected

• Provides more precise control for multi-track projects

Key Differences

Pro Tip: You'll find both toggles in the timeline toolbar. Use:

• Auto Ripple (↕) for documentary/rapid editing

• Magnetic Timeline (🧲) for music videos/complex compositions
