Post 4 - Ripple Edit

The ripple edit was used to move the selected edit point of the clip, unlike the Slide tool the rest of the timeline was effected by the edit instead of just the surrounding clips. The ripple edit allows elimination of spaces between the clips. The tool can also be used to trim the clops and extend the length they play slowing or speeding up clips and audio which is highly beneficial. I used this tool as it effectively changes the atmosphere of the clip but more importantly allows the media to be editing to fit within the allotted time limit. I changed the length of the background music "Island of Kings" using this tool so the music would start after the heartbeat and end within the time frame as i did not want to cut the music because the highly dramatic fishing to the audio track would be lost and therefore no sense of finish or climax would be present in the trailer.
