What does the Slip Edit tool do?

• A. Adjusts a clips in and out points without moving it on the timeline.
• B. Moves the clip along the timeline, shifting other clips.
• C. Trims the timeline to fit the selection.
• D. Splits a clip at the playhead.

Answer: (A)

The Slip Edit tool changes which frames of the source clip are shown without moving the clip itself on the timeline. When you use it, you shift the clip’s in and out points inside the source footage in opposite directions while the clip’s position and duration on the timeline stay fixed. In other words, the visible content within the same on-timeline duration changes, so you can pick a different moment from the source without altering the edit point or the surrounding clips. This is handy when you want a different moment from the same take to be displayed without nudging the clip earlier or later in the sequence.
