To align a clip's start point to another clip's start or the cursor location, perform which action?

• A. Command-Click (Mac) or Ctrl-Click on the clip to be aligned
• B. Option-Click (Mac) or Alt-Click on the clip to be aligned
• C. Shift-Click (Mac) or Shift-Click on the clip to be aligned
• D. Ctrl-Command-Click (Mac) or Windows+Ctrl-Click on the clip to be aligned

Answer: (A)

Aligning a clip’s start to a reference point is done with a quick modifier-click. When you hold Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and click the clip to be aligned, Pro Tools moves that clip so its left edge snaps to the start of the reference clip or to the current edit cursor. This gives a precise start alignment without dragging, which is especially useful for matching takes or creating seamless beginnings. Other modifier combinations don’t perform this alignment; they trigger different editing actions, so they aren’t the right choice for snapping the start point.
