Split a clip?

• A. Razor Tool
• B. Pen Tool
• C. Type Tool
• D. Hand Tool

Answer: (A)

Splitting a clip on the timeline is done with the Razor Tool. The idea is to cut a clip exactly where you want it, turning one segment into two separate clips that you can treat independently. You place the playhead at the desired frame, switch to the Razor Tool, and click the clip (or use the Razor All Tracks option) to make a clean cut. This is essential for inserting other footage, changing the order, or trimming different parts without affecting the rest of the clip. The other tools serve different tasks: the Pen Tool is for adding and adjusting keyframes for motion or effects, the Type Tool adds text to the video, and the Hand Tool lets you move around the timeline or the program monitor without editing the clips.
