Having a true Ripple Edit in Nuendo would be a huge win for those of us using Nuendo for voice (audio books, voice overs, podcasts, film etc.)
Ripple Editing allows for a convenient way to rearrange sections of a song and maintain the sync relationships without leaving unintended gaps between the clips.
When adjusting the position of a clip in the Track view, than Nuendo automatically adjust the start position of all subsequent clips to compensate for the change.
You can choose to ripple edit just the selection, or all tracks plus meter/key changes, tempo changes, and - of course - markers and so on.
ItĀ“s a very fast way to rearrange multiple Events and Markers on multiple tracks etc. together.
Been asking for years. The difference now is that pros are often working on anything that turns a buck. Small videos, a radio piece, podcasts whatever.
In the past I used to turn to Wavelab for radio ā¦ but now, working mainly in Nuendo the adjustment in workflow moving back and forth ( plus keeping both apps up to date ) just isnāt worth it. I just want to move on and get the work done.
In terms of implementation check out Final Cut Proās magnetic timeline. It is a revelation. A āMagneticā mode in Nuendo would be amazing ā¦ though admittedly less than useful for music or audio for video!
Iāve even cut audio pieces in FCPX ā¦ it has all the Logic Pro plugins ā¦ but of course absent MIDI and instruments it is less that ideal. That magnetic timeline though, just burns through an edit! If you were editing an audio book ā¦ just saying!
Hi Matthias,
I know and use this function you mentioned, but that is not really comparable.
Copy/paste time is just only a āworkaroundā if you look at how easy it is to work with ripple edit.
Same here. For podcasts, audiobooks, elearning, VOā¦ Ripple Editing would go a long way!
If you have multiple tracks, ripple editing also doesnāt chop up your audio like when inserting time over multiple tracks. Adjusting the timing of any voice material is crucial. It would be a huge time saver for this kind of work.
See this example. 1) No ripple edit. 2) Ripple editing for one track. 3) Ripple editing for multiple tracks. Notice how it only moves the selected clip and all clips AFTER it. No chopping up clips.
Thanks Fredo, but Iām afraid those commands do not select āall followingā on the selected track.
In 2015 I added a [FR] which is similar to the one weāre staring at now, and there we had exactly the same discoveries.
And as a result of our constructive discussion I could copy this much-used-macro from you.
Please refer to
Still, I think a ripple-function will work much faster.
I hope someone @ Steinberg feels the urge of implementing all these tiny omissions which would make Nuendo really advanced?
The easiest way is still:
Shift_Double Clicking on the event. (This selects all events on the right of that event) - Only on the selected track.
ā¦but thatās not a key-commandā¦and thatās what this thread is all about.
Am I wrong or are you @ TempleOfTune on Nuage?
Maybe you can explain your workflow in regard of this topic? How do you ripple-edit your events and āfollowing eventsā?
Iām -personally- especially interested in the mix of using the mouse and using key commands (or dedicated smart-buttons on the Nuage).
On my Euphonix Mc Pro I make extensive use of key commands and use the mouse mainly for event/part-operations. I rarely touch menus with the mouse. Thatās why I think key command implementation of Nuendo should be much more advanced.
In the meantime Iām very worried about the EuCon-integration in Nuendo. How long will this be supported?
Another thread, I knowā¦
I donāt discuss Ripple Edit at all.
I just provided an answer to the so-called missing feature/KC of āselect all events right of cursorā (On the same track.)
They are there and they are working fine as KC. (Also on our trusted Nuage)
But it doesnāt matter, because I couldnāt care less if it is a Key Command or a mouse-thing.
I just use whatever seems most convenient at the moment.
Personally, I donāt see the point of:
-Select Track
-Move cursor to position
-fire KC or function that selects all events to the right.
While I can SHIFT/double-clik on any event in the project window.
Thatās one action compared to 3 actions on the controller.
But as said, I have both āselect events right/left from cursorā on selected track assigned to my User assignable keypad.
They link to the two Macroās which are present in the default KCās.
Thanks anyway for sharing your personal view on this Fredo.
Hereās obviously 2 different points of view and 2 different workflows.
1 question mark though, where are the default KCās for āselect events right/left from cursorā on selected track ?
I may be a slow student but I canāt see the wood for the trees anymore now that weāve spoken about all these different commandsā¦
They are in the Macro section of the Key Commands window.
In the KC window, there is a folder called āMacroā.
There you can assign a KC to the macro.
