A simple cut in the timeline means__just deleting a clip________. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline stay the same length.
A ripple edit is when a clip is added but the time changes. You do this by right clicking on the clip and selecting ripple delete. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip move to the left.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut the clip at one time. To do this, you set the inpoints and out points.
Lifting is like simple cut, while extracting is like ripple effect, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of an extracting edit. I decided to extract the two clips where I did because nothing was happening in the clips I deleted. The horse was on its way to the hurdles_.
