What is the main feature of the Ripple trim tool?

The main feature of the Ripple trim tool is that it removes frames without leaving a gap. This tool is designed specifically for making adjustments to the in and out points of a clip on the timeline. When you use the Ripple trim tool to trim a clip, the other clips in the timeline automatically shift to fill the space created by the removed frames, ensuring a continuous flow of media without any gaps. This makes it highly efficient for maintaining the pacing of a sequence while allowing for precise editing.

Additionally, while the tool does maintain audio and video sync, and can change the timing of clips, its essential function centers on effectively closing the gaps that may form when frames are trimmed from a sequence.
