What does the Reduce button do in the Effect Preview monitor?

• A. Shrinks the clip in the timeline
• B. Zooms in on the current frame
• C. Reduces the Effect Preview monitor's area to make working outside the boundaries of the visible frame easier
• D. Changes the color of the effect border

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how the UI helps you edit effects more comfortably. The Reduce button makes the Effect Preview monitor smaller on the screen. That frees up space so you can work near or even beyond the visible frame while tweaking an effect. It doesn’t resize the clip in the timeline, nor does it zoom the actual image or change border colors; it just shrinks the preview window to give you easier access to controls and handles that might extend outside the frame during adjustment.
