Which editing operation moves the cut point between two clips by shifting the point between them without altering the overall timeline duration?

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

Answer: (D)

Rolling the edit is about moving the cut point between two adjacent clips by shifting that boundary, while keeping the total length of the timeline the same. This lets you adjust exactly where the joint occurs without making the sequence longer or shorter. For example, nudging the roll forward moves the end of the first clip and the start of the second clip by the same amount, so the timeline duration stays intact. This differs from trimming, which changes the end of a single clip and can alter overall duration; a ripple edit, which also shifts following clips and thus changes the timeline length; and a slip edit, which moves the content inside a clip without moving the cut point on the timeline.
