What modifier key can be used in addition to the +/- keys to trim a clip's end point by the nudge value?

• A. Command
• B. Control
• C. Shift
• D. Option

Answer: (A)

Nudge editing uses a small, precise amount defined by the current nudge value. To trim the end of a clip by that exact amount, you need a modifier that switches the action from moving the whole clip to adjusting its boundary. On a Mac, holding the Command key while pressing the +/- keys performs an end-point trim by the nudge value—the end of the clip is shortened or lengthened by that amount while the start stays in place. On Windows, the same action is done with the Control key. Other modifiers serve different editing actions, so they don’t achieve this end-trim-with-nudge effect.
