Adding new clips in the middle of a finished project

[Packie]

I’m a beginner but I have a nice video completed (including transitions) and exported…I need to add some clips in the middle without disturbing anything before or after. Can someone help?

Hi @Packie

Here are two ways of doing it:

Using Ripple and Ripple All Tracks

In the example above I inserted the new clip at the intersection of two clips.
But you can also insert the new clip in the middle of a clip if you need to. Here’s how:

Using the new Rectangle Selection tool

This tool was added in Shotcut version 23.11.29.
Use this method on simple and short projects.
