To edit source content to the timeline between an IN and OUT region, hold the Ctrl key while dragging and dropping. Which statement is correct?

• A. False
• B. Not possible to edit between IN and OUT regions
• C. True
• D. Requires Alt key

Answer: (C)

In Media Composer, the IN and OUT marks define the edit region you’re targeting on the timeline. Performing an insert edit is what places new source content inside that region without overwriting what’s already there. Holding the Ctrl key while you drag a clip from the source into the timeline switches the drag to an insert edit, so the clip lands between the IN and OUT points and existing timeline material is pushed aside to make space. That’s why this statement is correct. It’s not indicating an impossibility, and the Alt key isn’t part of this particular behavior.
