What operation swaps a clip on the timeline while preserving adjacent timing?

• A. Cut the clip with the Razor tool and reassemble.
• B. Apply a time remap to adjust timing.
• C. Use the Slip tool to adjust timing.
• D. Use Replace With Clip or Replace Footage to swap the clip without changing the edit points on adjacent clips.

Answer: (D)

Swapping the clip on the timeline while keeping the surrounding timing intact is accomplished by replacing the clip with another clip from your project. Using Replace With Clip (or Replace Footage) swaps the source content while preserving the in and out points on the timeline, so the edit points with adjacent clips don’t move. The new clip takes the same timeline duration as the old one, keeping the surrounding cuts and transitions exactly where they are. This is different from the Slip tool, which only changes which portion of the same clip is shown without swapping to a different clip, and from time remapping or razor cuts, which alter timing or the structure of edits.
