Why is there blank space left in the timeline after I cut or delete the video?

Default Behavior (Auto Ripple Enabled):
When you delete a clip from your timeline:

  • All subsequent clips (to the right) automatically shift left

  • This eliminates gaps and maintains timeline continuity

  • Ideal for most editing workflows where you want seamless transitions

With Auto Ripple Disabled:

  • Deleted clips leave empty space in the timeline

  • Subsequent clips maintain their original positions

  • Useful when you need precise timing (e.g., music videos or synchronized multi-cam edits)
