Which editing function is more likely to break sync?

Which editing function is more likely to break sync?

• A. Splice-In
• B. Extract
• C. Ripple Edit
• D. Trim

Answer: (A)

In this context, keep in mind how edits affect timing across all synced tracks. Splice-In inserts new material into the timeline by splitting a clip and pushing everything to the right on that track. If audio and video are linked or you’re working with multiple tracks, this insertion can misalign the downstream content, causing audio and video to fall out of sync. The other edits tend to remove or adjust timing in a way that preserves or explicitly manages synchronization: Extract closes a gap and shifts content to keep timing intact, Ripple Edit moves adjacent media with the change so downstream timing stays aligned, and Trim changes an edit point without creating unintended mismatches unless you enable ripple. So, inserting new material without coordinating all synced tracks is the most likely way to break sync.
