Which statement best describes the Extract/Splice-In tool's primary use?

• A. It inserts a clip between two Timeline segments without altering their content.
• B. It trims a clip by a fixed amount
• C. It applies a crossfade at the edit point
• D. It duplicates the selected segment

Answer: (A)

Splice-In is about inserting a clip between two existing timeline segments without changing the content of those segments. When you perform a splice-in, the new clip is placed in the gap between the two clips, the surrounding edits remain exactly as they were, and the timeline content shifts to accommodate the inserted material. This is useful when you want to add a shot or insert material into a rough cut without modifying the clips that are already in place. In contrast, trimming would shorten a clip itself, a crossfade would apply a transition at an edit point rather than inserting content between two clips, and duplicating would copy a segment rather than place a new clip into the timeline.
