What happens when you drag a clip to a new track?

• A. A new track instance
• B. The clip duplicates in the media pool
• C. The clip is renamed
• D. The project autosaves

Answer: (A)

Dragging a clip to a different track creates a new instance of that clip on the destination track. This means the same media can appear more than once on the timeline, each on its own track and with its own edits, effects, and in/out points, without changing the original placement on the other track. It’s a timeline-level duplication, not a change to the media pool, a rename, or an autosave action. This behavior lets you layer or stack clips (for effects like picture-in-picture or parallel audio/video) while keeping everything organized and independent on each track.
