The main use of the Slide tool is to ______.

The Slide tool is primarily designed for adjusting the position of video clips on the timeline without altering their duration. When you use this tool, you can slide a clip to the left or right, effectively changing its position relative to surrounding clips while preserving the length of the clip itself. This is particularly useful for fine-tuning the timing of clips in relation to each other, ensuring a smoother flow in your edited video.

This functionality contrasts with other tools that have different purposes. For instance, trimming clips changes their duration, removing clips entirely is not what the Slide tool does, and creating split edits involves different techniques to control audio and video timing separately. Thus, the Slide tool’s specific capacity to reposition clips while maintaining their original length is what makes this answer accurate.
