Which of the following is NOT a method to load a clip into the Source Monitor?

The option referring to selecting the clip from the menu bar is not a method used to load a clip into the Source Monitor. Instead, loading a clip typically involves more direct interactions with the clips themselves, such as right-clicking, dragging, and double-clicking.

Methods like right-clicking and selecting “Open in Source Monitor” provide a contextual approach that directly involves the clip in the media bin. Dragging and dropping the clip is a common technique, allowing users to quickly move the clip from the project panel into the Source Monitor, which enhances workflow efficiency. Double-clicking directly interacts with the clip in a straightforward manner, automatically loading it into the Source Monitor for previewing and editing.

Selecting a clip from the menu bar lacks this direct interaction. Menu bars generally provide navigation and options for various functions rather than direct clip manipulation, which is why it does not qualify as a valid method to load clips into the Source Monitor. Understanding these distinctions is essential for effectively managing clips during the editing process in digital video production.
