Hi,
I was trying to move the current selected clip with the clips on it's right in the timeline ie. RippleEdit .On selecting the clip and when the cursor changed to the "hand icon", I left clicked and dragged the clip but only the selected clip moved not the one's on it's right.
Then I tried the same method while pressing "Shift","Ctrl" and "Alt" keys in various combinations but still the adjacent clips just didn't move.

So , I searched and found a previous Cyberlink post on this topic here .In it the same steps as I had performed were mentioned .

Why is the ripple edit option not working for me in Pd17 ?
Is there an option to toggle between the ripple edit modes which I might have accidently toggled?

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Thanks.

Hold down your left mouse button on an empty track on the timeline and then move your cursor. You will see a box start to emerge. Every clip that that box touches will be selected. You can then move all of those selected clips at the same time.

Moving a single clip away from a block of clips doesn't cause any other changes to the timeline. To trigger the rippling, you either need to drag an edge of one of the clips (change its duration), or move the clip so that one edge overlaps another clip.

In your case, either select the entire range of clips that you'd like to move and move them as a single block like TDK1044 has described, or move the first clip by itself and then right click in the new gap and choose this option:
