Ripple edit tool description?

• A. Moves an edit point forwards or backwards by adjusting the first clip's in point and the next clip's out point.
• B. Slips the In and Out Points Without Moving the Clip on the Timeline.
• C. Moves an Edit Point Forwards or Backwards by Moving the Out Point of the First Clip and the In Point of the Next Clip.
• D. Splits a Clip at the Current Playhead Position.

Answer: (C)

The ripple edit tool changes how two clips meet by altering the edit point and letting the rest of the timeline adjust automatically. Specifically, it moves the Out point of the first clip and the In point of the next clip as you drag. This keeps the sequence continuous without gaps. If you drag the edit point to the right, the first clip gets longer while the following clip shortens, and everything after slides forward to accommodate. If you drag to the left, the first clip shortens and the next clip lengthens, pulling the timeline backward. This behavior matches the description of how a ripple edit operates because it directly involves adjusting the boundary between two clips to alter the overall timeline length. The other descriptions refer to different actions: slipping the In and Out points without moving clips on the timeline (the Slip tool), or splitting a clip at the playhead (the Razor tool), neither of which describe ripple editing.
