Which Edit mode allows you to place a clip by specifying a precise numeric location?

The Spot mode in Pro Tools is specifically designed for placing clips at precise numeric locations within a session. When you use this mode, you can enter exact time code values or sample positions in a dialog box. This level of precision is essential when you need to align audio clips accurately with other elements in the project, such as dialogue or music cues. The Spot feature is particularly useful in scenarios where timing is critical, allowing for exact placement rather than visual approximation.

In contrast, other modes such as Slip and Grid provide different editing functionalities. Slip mode allows for free positioning of clips within the timeline without snap-to functionality, while Grid mode enables movement based on a user-defined grid, which is useful for quantizing placements but not for specific numerical entry. Timeline mode does not refer to a specific editing action but rather describes the overall environment for editing in Pro Tools. Thus, Spot mode is the right choice for precise clip placement.
