What does the Lift function do in the timeline?

• A. Removes material from the Timeline and leaves Filler in its place
• B. Removes material and closes the gap left by removal
• C. Inserts a new clip from the source monitor
• D. Reverses the direction of the timeline

Answer: (A)

Lift removes the selected material from the timeline but leaves a filler in its place. This keeps the surrounding edits in their exact positions and preserves the overall timing, so you still see the empty space where the clips were, rather than the rest of the timeline shifting left. If you want the gap closed and the following clips to move up to fill the space, you’d use an option that removes the gap (like Extract or a Ripple Delete). Inserting a new clip from the source monitor is a different action entirely, and reversing the timeline direction isn’t related to how material is removed or left as filler.
