To identify which cuts will receive a dissolve when adding dissolves to multiple cuts, how do you identify them?

• A. Enable the destination video track selector
• B. Use the Mark In and Mark Out on each cut individually
• C. Activate a keyboard shortcut for dissolves
• D. Set IN and OUT marks to select the group of cuts

Answer: (D)

Defining a range with IN and OUT marks is how you specify the set of cuts that will receive the dissolve. By placing the IN and OUT points around the group of edits you want to affect, you tell the system to apply the dissolve across all the transitions contained within that interval. This makes it easy to see exactly which cuts will be connected by dissolves when you apply the effect to multiple edits at once. Enabling a destination video track selector doesn’t determine which cuts are affected, it just chooses where the result lands. Marking In and Out on each cut individually would apply dissolves one by one, not as a grouped range. A keyboard shortcut for dissolves only triggers the effect, but still doesn’t define which cuts are included.
