• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Ripple edit when changing the Speed of Clips!!!

In FCP 5 when ever I change the speed of a clip it will shift my entire timeline down, throwing off all my timing---kind of like a ripple tool. Is there any way to shut this off or get around it---It drives me crazy---Help me out if you can...

Well, changing the speed of a clip effectively changes it's length, thus causing the ripple. If you want to change speed, but not effect any of the timeline, the easiest way to do so, would be to change it's speed *before* making edits afterwards. But you could use the Track forward tool (t) with Shift held down to select all of your edits past the point that you're talking about, change she speed, track forward and drag everything back into place.
