Slip a clip's In and Out points without moving it on the timeline?

• A. Pen Tool
• B. Slip Tool
• C. Razor Tool
• D. Track Select Forward Tool

Answer: (B)

Slipping a clip changes which portion of the source footage is shown inside the same timeline duration without moving the clip itself. The Slip tool shifts the source content left or right so the In/Out points of the clip on the timeline stay put, but the frames you see come from a different part of the source. This lets you refine the shot without altering the edit points or the clip’s position and length on the timeline. The other tools don’t provide this effect: the Pen Tool is for adding keyframes or editing masks, the Razor Tool splits a clip, and the Track Select Forward Tool selects clips forward on a track.
