What does the Delete/Lift command do in video editing?

The Delete/Lift command in video editing is specifically designed to remove clips from the timeline while leaving a gap in their place. This is particularly useful when an editor wants to take out a section of video but maintain the overall pacing or timing of the surrounding clips, allowing for later adjustments without affecting the subsequent content.

When using this command, the position of any clips that follow the removed section remains unchanged, which can be essential for maintaining the flow of the edit. This behavior allows the editor to easily see where the removed clip was situated and helps in determining how to fill that space later if needed.

In contrast, the other choices describe actions that either remove clips without gaps or involve cutting or duplicating clips, which do not align with the specific function of the Delete/Lift command.
