To align a clip's start point to another clip's start or the current cursor location, you select the clip to be aligned and perform which action?

• A. Ctrl-Click (Mac) or Windows-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-Click (Mac) or Windows-Click on the clip to be aligned?

Answer: (D)

Using the clip’s context menu is how you align starts. After selecting the clip you want to move, invoke the contextual menu by Ctrl-click on Mac (or right-click on Windows) the clip to be aligned, then choose the alignment option. This snaps the clip’s start to the start of the reference clip or to the current cursor position. The reason this is the best method is that the alignment action is specifically exposed in the clip’s context menu for precise start-point snapping, rather than performing a generic move or other action that won’t snap to a reference point.
