Which editing mode prevents clips from being affected by other clips when moving?

Slip Mode is the editing mode that allows the user to freely move clips across the timeline without being affected by other nearby clips. In this mode, you can drag a clip to different locations, and it will simply reposition itself without affecting other clips adjacent to it. This is particularly useful when you want precise control over the placement of individual clips without risking accidental overlaps or edits to surrounding audio.

In contrast, Shuffle Mode would snap clips together, causing them to move and rearrange based on the proximity of other clips. Grid Mode aligns clips to a defined grid which can also influence their placement, often leading to restrictions on how and where clips can be moved. Spot Mode is designed for placing clips at exact timecode locations, which also means that clips are influenced by the placement of others as you specify exact starting points. Therefore, it is Slip Mode that truly allows for independent movement of clips without interference from others.
