I learned how to delete clips, ripple edits, lift, and extract fast and easily. We extracted the clip this way because it was made the most sense and flowed a little better.I hoped to make the video kind of flow, because the clips were really choppy.

A simple cut in the timeline means taking out a clip in the timeline.When you cut, the other clips in the timeline leave a space where the cut clip was. A ripple edit is when you delete a clip and shift the remaining clips over to fill in the space. You do this by right clicking and selecting ripple edit. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip shift over to fill in the space. Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut clips from the video at one time. To do this, you set an in point and out point and use the insert or extracting tool to take out the clip you selected.
Lifting is like inserting, while extracting is like overlaying, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of an ripple edit. I decided to extract the two clips where I did because to me it made the video less choppy.
