If you want to begin a selected range at a precise frame, which button do you press?

• A. Out point
• B. Start
• C. End
• D. In point

Answer: (D)

Defining a range starts with marking its beginning frame. The In point sets the start boundary of the selected range, so you place the playhead on the exact frame you want and press the In point button (or press the I key). This captures that frame as the starting point, and the range will extend forward until you set the end with the Out point. The Out point marks the end, not the start, so it wouldn’t establish where the range begins. Terms like Start or End aren’t used to define the range’s boundary in the same precise way as In point, which is why the In point is the correct choice.
