Which editing action adjusts a clip's in and out points without moving it on the timeline?

• A. Ripple Edit
• B. Trim
• C. Slip Edit
• D. Slide Edit

Answer: (B)

The action that changes which portion of the source clip is shown while keeping the clip’s position fixed on the timeline is a Slip Edit. It shifts the content inside the clip—so the in and out points of the source media change—but the clip itself stays in the same spot on the timeline. This lets you refine which frames are being used without altering where the clip sits or how the surrounding clips line up. If you were trimming in a more general sense, you’d be adjusting the on-timeline endpoints, which can change the clip’s length and potentially affect neighboring clips unless you’re using non-ripple behavior. A Slide Edit would move the entire clip left or right on the timeline, changing its position relative to adjacent clips. A Ripple Edit would adjust duration and push subsequent clips accordingly.
