In waveform editing, which Smart Tool function becomes active when the cursor is in the lower portion of a clip far from boundaries?

• A. Selector
• B. Pencil
• C. Grabber
• D. Trimmer

Answer: (C)

In Pro Tools, the Smart Tool changes based on where your cursor is on a clip. When you place the cursor in the interior of the clip, away from its start or end boundaries, the function that becomes active is the Grabber. The Grabber lets you click and drag the entire clip to a new position in the timeline without changing its length. This is different from trimming (which happens near the clip edges) or selecting (which highlights a region within the clip) or using the Pencil for other detailed editing. So the interior, lower portion away from edges is the zone where the Smart Tool turns into the Grabber.
