What modifier key(s) would you hold to Scrub Trim at a finer resolution?

• A. Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows)
• B. Shift Command (Mac) or Shift Ctrl (Windows)
• C. Ctrl (Mac) or Windows
• D. Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows)

Answer: (D)

When you want to trim with precision, you use a modifier that switches scrub/trim into a fine-tune mode. Holding Command on Mac or Control on Windows tightens the scrub resolution, so each movement trims a smaller amount. This lets you make very small, exact adjustments rather than larger jumps, which is essential for nailing timing around a transient or a click. Other modifiers change different editing behaviors (like snapping or alternate actions), but they don’t yield the finer incremental control needed for careful scrub trimming.
