Lifting/Extracting Workshop



A simple cut in the timeline means the clip you select is deleted. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline stay in place.
A ripple edit is when there is a gap in the timeline and the clips are at the ends of the gap. You do this by either lifting or extracting. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip shift to the left.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to edit the video and the timeline at one time. To do this, you first select a clip and decide either to lift the clip from the timeline or remove it completely.
Lifting is like moving a card up from a row of cards, while extracting is like removing the card completely from the row of cards, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of an exctraction edit. I decided to place the two clips where I did because it seemed like the right place to put them.
