In the Clip Speed/Duration dialog, which option allows trailing clips to shift to accommodate speed changes?

• A. Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips
• B. Roll Edit
• C. Slip Tool
• D. Extend Edit

Answer: (A)

Ripple edits propagate changes forward in the timeline. When you enable Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips in the Clip Speed/Duration dialog, changing a clip’s speed or duration automatically pushes the following clips along the timeline to absorb the new length. If you slow the clip, it takes more time, so the trailing clips shift later to fill the extra duration; if you speed it up, there’s less time, so the trailing clips move earlier to close the gap. This keeps the timeline continuous without gaps or overlaps. Other tools adjust adjacent edit points or the content within a clip without causing the entire trailing sequence to shift automatically, which is why they don’t fit this scenario.
