Which mode allows selecting multiple segments to apply an effect?

• A. Effect mode or Segment mode
• B. Timeline mode
• C. Clip mode
• D. Audio mode

Answer: (A)

To apply one effect to several pieces at once, you need a mode that supports selecting multiple segments in the timeline and then applying the effect to all of them. Segment mode is designed for selecting individual segments in the timeline, and when you multi-select across tracks, you create a single group of segments. With that group selected, you can apply an effect from the Effects palette, and the same effect is applied to every chosen segment. Effect mode serves the same purpose from a different angle: you switch to this mode and apply the effect to the current selection, treating all picked segments as a batch. This is particularly useful when you want consistent processing across multiple clips, like color correction or a uniform transition, without applying the effect to each clip separately. Other modes aren’t built for multi-segment batch application: Timeline mode is about arranging the sequence, Clip mode focuses on individual clips, and Audio mode targets audio-specific edits.
