Which tool is recommended for moving a segment to another track?

• A. Ripple
• B. Extract/Splice-In
• C. Lift/Overwrite
• D. Trim

Answer: (C)

Moving a segment to another track requires an operation that both clears the clip from its original position and places it onto a different track. Lift/Overwrite is designed for exactly this: lift removes the selected segment from its current track (creating the gap) and overwrite places that same segment onto the destination track, potentially replacing anything there. This cross-track relocation is what makes it the right tool for moving a segment between tracks. Ripple edits, by contrast, shift timing on the same track and don’t inherently move clips to another track. Extract/Splice-In focuses on splitting or inserting within a track, not cross-track movement. Trim only adjusts the segment’s in/out points.
