Hi gang
what’s the quickest way to ripple cut/trim the first frame out of every segment/shot in a timeline ?
Hmm, open the “Search and select in Timeline” menu and select the “cut” tab at the top. That should select all of your cuts. Then hit the number 1 on your numpad and hit enter. It might be -1. I forget.
I tried that and it didn’t work,…
@mux
mark your track in which you want to trim and then press (,) for a frame at the front and (.) for a frame at the back - unfortunately this will move the whole track, but it’s quicker to set it back to 0 than to manually remove a frame everywhere.
FYI: hold down the shift key to trim 5 frames
On Linux:
Select the whole track
Press the windows key and (counter-intuitively) the right arrow key
This should select the head of every segment.
Enable ripple
Trim every head by 1 frame
Unless you meant something else?
I think it’s working on my end but I could be misunderstanding your question.
Thanks yes that’s right, I tried the same, …older version,… but still hmm not sure why it didn’t work for me.
I ended up doing it manually,… never mind I will try it on something else…again
@mux - i use default flame hot keys

I have smoke keys. I don’t know what the Flame key is, but the trick to this is a hotkey called Select Incoming side of a Transition. On smoke it’s Space N.
- Turn on Ripple
- Select all segments
- Use hotkey for Select Incoming side of a Transition
- Poke the Trim One Frame Forward key. (That’s N on smoke keys and . on flame)
- Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
There’s also a Select Outgoing side of a Transition (Space B on smoke keys) for doing this with tails. Bear in mind, that if you are adding a frame at the head or tail, and one segment has no handles, nothing will get trimmed.
Edit. I see @philm already said this.
