Ripple Delete shortcut not working

Kraz wrote on 12/7/2025, 12:36 PM

I'm using Video Pro X17. I'm pretty sure in previous versions I could highlight an object(s) and press Ctrl+Delete and the selected objects would be deleted and the gap would be closed (rippled) meaning the objects to the right would move and close the gap. This doesn't seem to be working in Pro X17. I believe it's called remove scene and it shows up in the shortcut editor but the remove scene icon seems to be greyed out. Can anyone using Pro X17 test this for me? Thank you. Kraz

Hi

Ctrl + Del removes the object/scene only as it has been in all previous versions going back to at least VPX 8.

Your image shows you have the mouse mode set to single object, to close the gap automatically you must have the Mouse mode set to either Single track, shortcut 8, or All tracks, short cut 7 see image below

The Remove scene button only activates either when you have selected a scene to remove, or if there is only one object on the timeline.

Thanks for replying @johnebaker So is there a way to ripple delete? I'm sure I used to be able to do it.

So I did some more research and it looks like you need to be in mouse mode for all tracks (7) then when you delete the objects the gap will close automatically. Although I'm sure could do it with Ctrl + Delete in the past.
