Did you already try this?

Timeline > Ripple All Tracks

Ripple All Tracks has the icon [image] in the Timeline toolbar and menu. Here is how it works: Only applies when ripple mode (Ripple trim and drop) is also on: [image] Or when using an edit operation that ripples: Cut or Remove (Ripple Delete). Only affects the clips after the moved clip on the same track. Affects footage after the original start position of the moved clip on other tracks (I use the term “footage” when I mean there is a time range and not strictly whole clips, and that often…

Yes but didnt work for me, this cuts the footage where I put a clip or image.

I am not sure Ripple is the right word to use. But to make clip 2 to come to clip 1, automatically after i trimmed it.

Ripple edit is definitely a game-changer once it clicks! Just a quick tip for anyone else finding this: if you find yourself accidentally moving clips on other tracks, make sure you haven’t accidentally toggled ‘Ripple All Tracks’ (the icon with the multiple lines). I usually keep that off and only use the standard ‘Ripple’ (the single line icon) to keep things under control. It saves so much cleanup time!
