What does the Ripple Edit tool primarily affect?

• A. It edits between keyframes
• B. It changes the speed of a selected clip
• C. It removes gaps in the timeline by moving clips
• D. It reverses the order of clips on the timeline

Answer: (C)

The Ripple Edit tool is designed to facilitate editing in a timeline by allowing for the adjustment of a selected clip while simultaneously shifting adjacent clips to fill any gap left behind or to accommodate the new length of the edited clip. When you trim the start or end of a clip using the Ripple Edit tool, all clips that come after the edited clip are automatically moved forward or backward in the timeline to prevent any empty space or gaps. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining continuity in a sequence without having to manually adjust other clips after making a change.
