    Which two edit points does the Roll tool adjust?

    • The Roll tool adjusts the In and Out points of one clip.

    • The Roll tool adjusts one clip's Out point and the adjacent clip's In point.

    • The Roll tool affects three clips: the position of the middle clip, and the durations of the adjacent clips.

    • The Roll tool adjusts the In and Out points of every clip in the sequence.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Roll tool adjusts one clip's Out point and the adjacent clip's In point.
    Explanation
    The Roll tool adjusts one clip's Out point and the adjacent clip's In point. This means that when using the Roll tool, you can change the timing of one clip by adjusting its Out point, while simultaneously adjusting the timing of the adjacent clip by changing its In point. This allows for seamless transitions and precise editing between clips.

    What does Option-dragging a clip do?

    • Option-dragging creates a copy of a sequence clip and repositions the copy in a different location, leaving the original sequence clip in place.

    • Option-dragging moves a sequence clip to a new location, allowing you to make either an insert or overwrite edit.

    • Option-dragging cuts a sequence clip from the sequence, allowing it to be pasted at the playhead.

    • Option-dragging creates a hybrid of every clip the sequence clip is dragged over, changing the order of the sequence but not the overall length.

    Correct Answer
    A. Option-dragging creates a copy of a sequence clip and repositions the copy in a different location, leaving the original sequence clip in place.
    Explanation
    Option-dragging a clip allows the user to create a duplicate of a sequence clip and move the duplicate to a different location while keeping the original clip in its original place. This feature is useful when the user wants to reuse a clip in multiple parts of the sequence without having to manually copy and paste it.

    Is extending two edit points most similar to rolling, slipping, or sliding edit points?

    • Extending changes an edit point in the same way rolling does.

    • Extending changes an edit point in the same way slipping does.

    • Extending changes an edit point in the same way sliding does.

    • Extending changes an edit point in the same way all three does.

    Correct Answer
    A. Extending changes an edit point in the same way rolling does.
    Explanation
    Extending changes an edit point in the same way rolling does because both actions involve lengthening the duration of the clip without affecting the timing or position of other clips. Rolling edit points allow for adjusting the in and out points of two adjacent clips while keeping the overall duration the same, similar to how extending an edit point allows for extending the duration of a clip without affecting the surrounding clips.

    What modifier key is essential to reposition a clip in a sequence without overwriting any other material?

    • The Option key is used to shuffle a clip and ripple all other clips in the sequence.

    • The Control key is used to shuffle a clip and ripple all other clips in the sequence.

    • The Command key is used to shuffle a clip and ripple all other clips in the sequence.

    • The Shift key is used to shuffle a clip and ripple all other clips in the sequence.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Option key is used to shuffle a clip and ripple all other clips in the sequence.
    Explanation
    The Option key is used to shuffle a clip and ripple all other clips in the sequence. This means that when the Option key is pressed while repositioning a clip, it will move the clip without overwriting any other material in the sequence. Instead, it will automatically adjust the positions of the other clips in the sequence to accommodate the moved clip.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Slip tool adjusts the In and Out points of one clip.

    The Slip tool adjusts the In and Out points of one clip. This means that when using the Slip tool, you can change the starting and ending points of a single clip without affecting any other clips in the sequence. This allows for precise adjustments to the timing and duration of a specific clip without having to make changes to the entire sequence.

    Which two sets of shortcut keys allow you to adjust edit points one frame at a time?

    • The < and > keys
