What does Ripple Edit do?

• A. Moves An Edit Point Forwards Or Backwards By Moving The Out Point Of The First Clip And The In Point Of The Next Clip.
• B. Slips The In And Out Points Without Moving The Clip On The Timeline.
• C. Trims A Clip By Adjusting Its In Point Only.
• D. Splits A Clip At The Current Playhead Position.

Answer: (A)

Ripple editing changes an edit point and automatically shifts the surrounding clips so the timeline remains continuous. When you drag the edge, it adjusts the out point of the first clip and the in point of the next clip, so shortening or lengthening one clip moves the following clips accordingly and no gaps are left. This is what makes it different from slipping (which moves a clip without altering the overall sequence), standard trimming (which may change just one point without propagating the change), or splitting (which creates a cut at the playhead). So the behavior described—moving the edit point by adjusting the out point of the first clip and the in point of the next clip—is exactly what ripple edit does.
