Which statement about a clip's handle is true?

• A. The unused portion of a source clip
• B. The portion used for the main edit
• C. The portion currently muted
• D. A duplicate of the clip

Answer: (B)

Handles are the extra media that sit beyond what you place in the timeline. When a clip is edited into a sequence, the frames inside the chosen in and out points make up the main edit. The frames before the in point and after the out point are the unused portion—the handles. These handles give you room to extend or adjust the edit later without re-sourcing the clip. The portion used for the main edit is the in-to-out segment, not the handles. Muting or duplicating the clip isn’t related to the concept of handles.
