Is extending two edit points most similar to rolling, slipping, or sliding edit points?
- A.
Extending changes an edit point in the same way rolling does.

Extending changes an edit point in the same way slipping does.
- C.
Extending changes an edit point in the same way sliding does.
- D.
Extending changes an edit point in the same way all three does.

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.Rate this question:
