What is the correct description of the Insert button?

• A. Splits a clip at the playhead
• B. Overwrites existing content on the timeline
• C. Inserts a gap in the timeline
• D. Adds a clip to the timeline and shifts the rest of the clips to the right

Answer: (D)

The Insert button performs a ripple insert: it adds the chosen clip to the timeline at the current playhead position and shifts all downstream clips to the right to make room. This behavior means the clip appears where the playhead is and the rest of the timeline moves to accommodate it. It doesn’t split a clip, it doesn’t overwrite existing footage, and it doesn’t leave a gap.
