Which button activates Trim Mode?

Which button activates Trim Mode?

• A. -*_.._ (Effect Mode)
• B. ≡/::::/ (Motion Effects Editor)
• C. |[::::] (Trim Mode)
• D. [::II] (Quick Transition)

Answer: (C)

Trim Mode is the editing mode used for fine-tuning the exact point where two clips meet, giving you precise control over how the cut plays. Activate it by clicking the button whose icon looks like vertical bars with brackets around a segment: |[::::]. That icon signals trimming handles and the ability to adjust the edit point frame by frame, using trims like roll, slip, slide, or ripple to shape the edit. The other icons correspond to different tools: one is for applying or editing effects, another opens the motion effects editor for keyframed motion, and the last quickly inserts a transition. So the button with the |[::::] icon is the one that enables Trim Mode.
