Where do you drag to reorder effects inside a nest?

• A. Effect Editor
• B. Timeline
• C. Source Monitor
• D. Program Monitor

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is editing inside a nested sequence. A nest is its own mini timeline, so to change the order of effects applied inside it you work inside that nested content. In Avid, you open the nest so you can edit its internal effects, and the Source Monitor is the view that shows that inner sequence. From there you can drag the effects in the nest to rearrange the chain, changing the order in which they’re applied to the nested content. The other windows don’t serve this purpose: the outer Timeline controls clips and effects on the main sequence but doesn’t let you reorder the internal effect stack of a nest; the Effect Editor adjusts parameters of a selected effect rather than the sequence order; and the Program Monitor simply shows the final output of the current timeline, not the internal editing of a nest.
