What impact does Ripple Trim have on an active track?

• A. Moves all material to the right of the clip you're trimming forward or backward
• B. Changes the timeline's playback speed
• C. Duplicates the selected clip across the timeline
• D. Applies a cross-dissolve at the cut

Answer: (A)

Ripple trim changes the length of the edited clip on the active track and automatically shifts all media to the right of that edit point to compensate. This keeps the timeline on that track continuous without gaps, so the overall timing on that track is preserved as you trim forward or backward. It’s a track-specific adjustment, meaning it doesn’t alter playback speed, duplicate clips, or apply a cross-dissolve by itself.
