How to Ripple Edit

Don’t throw away all the time and effort you put into your VideoStudio project! Use a Ripple Edit to keep your titles, overlays, and audio perfectly in sync without any tedious, manual adjustments. Once you learn how to use a ripple edit you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it.

The best way to describe what a ripple edit is would be to explain a situation you would need it. Let’s say you have finished your slideshow complete with pictures, music, and titles but then you decide that you want to add or remove some of the pictures. If these pictures are in the middle of your movie, adding or removing them can completely throw off the timing of everything else! That’s where a ripple edit comes in. A ripple edit lets a single edit ripple down through the rest of the movie to ensure everything stays in sync and just the way you designed it. Save yourself the headache and time when you learn how to ripple edit in VideoStudio.
