Which tool would you use to adjust In and Out points without moving it on the timeline?

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

Answer: (D)

The idea is to change which frames from the source clip are displayed without moving the clip itself on the timeline. The Slip Tool lets you shift the source window inside a clip: the In and Out points on the timeline stay in the same place, but the frames from the clip that are shown change. In practice, you drag with the Slip Tool and you’ll see the source In/Out points move opposite to the timeline In/Out, keeping the edit point where it is while altering what portion of the clip is used. This is different from the Razor Tool, which simply cuts clips; Ripple Edit changes the duration and can push subsequent clips to fit; and the Track Select Forward Tool focuses on selecting and moving multiple clips. Using the Slip Tool gives precise control over which frames are included without altering the clip’s position on the sequence.
