A simple cut in the timeline means you cut out a clip from the video. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline leave a gap where the clip once was.
A ripple edit is when you cut a clip out of the video as well, but do not want to leave a gap between the other clips. You do this by right clicking on the clip and selecting "ripple delete". When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip move in to get rid of the gap the clip left behind.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut clips out of your video at one time. To do this, you create in and out points on the clip you wish to lift or extract and then push the corresponding button on the program panel.
Lifting is like cutting (you only take the clip out), while extracting is like ripple delete, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of an extracting edit. I decided to extract the two clips where we did because it made the most sense to Alicia & I.
