4 Now, you must define the range of clips you want to ripple to using the number pad on the
Search Dial panel. The following combinations will work:
An absolute range of clips is defined by entering two clip numbers separated by a
comma. For example, if you want to ripple the current change to clips 10 through 15,
you’d press “10, 15”
To specify every clip from the beginning of the Timeline, use the Minus (–) key.
For example, to specify a range of clips from the beginning to clip 20, you’d press “–, 20”
To specify every clip to the end of the Timeline, use the Plus (+) key. For example, to specify
a range of clips from the clip 50 to the end, you’d press “50, +”
To specify every clip in the whole Timeline, press “–, +”
5 (Optional) You can control whether the rippled change is applied in an appended node, or
an existing node, in every rippled clip by pressing the SHIFT DOWN key of any panel.
If you don’t press SHIFT DOWN, the rippled change will be applied to the same node in
every rippled clip that was adjusted in the current clip. In other words, if you made a change
to Node4, it will be rippled to Node 4 of all clips specified for rippling to. If one of the
rippled clips doesn’t have the same number of nodes (in this case if there’s no node 4), you
may get an error.
6 To execute the ripple, do one of the following:
Press RIPPLE VALUE on the Search Dial panel to ripple a change to the selected node
in each clip’s grade, using the currently selected Ripple Mode in the Color panel of the
User Preferences.
Press SHIFT DOWN and APPEND to ripple to add the change via an appended node at
the end of each clip’s grade
Press one of the Center panel soft keys corresponding to the ripple function you
want to perform.
There are four soft keys;
a) Static Ripple: Changes made to the current clip are rippled to the specified clips
using the exact parameters that were changed. For example, if Lift in the current clip
is changed to 0.75 of its range, each clip you ripple will have a Master Gain setting of
0.75. Only parameters you adjust are rippled. Identical to the “Exact values changed”
ripple setting.
b) Relative Ripple: Changes made to the current clip are rippled to the specified clips
by the percentage of change you made to the altered parameters. For example, if the
current clip has a Lift level of 1.00 and is changed to 0.90 units, then the Lift setting of
each clip you ripple will have a relative reduction of 10% relative to its previous value.
Identical to the “Percent value changed” ripple setting.
c) Absolute Ripple: Changes made to the current clip are rippled to the specified clips by
the same delta of change, using whichever units make sense for the affected parameter.
For example, if the current clip had a Lift of 0.80 and you increased it to 0.90, each
rippled scene’s master gain level increases by 0.10. Identical to the “Unit value changed”
ripple setting.
d) Forced Ripple: The current clip’s grade is rippled to the specified clips in its entirety,
overwriting all previous nodes and parameters in the rippled clips.
