The "Lift" command is the correct method for removing a clip from a sequence while keeping it in the bin. When you execute the lift action, the selected clip is removed from the timeline, but the actual media remains intact in your project. This is particularly useful when you want to temporary remove a clip without losing it from your original media source.

In contrast, the other methods involve either removing the clip entirely or altering its status in a way that might not retain the original media in the bin. For instance, pressing the "Delete" key would typically remove the clip from your sequence and could lead to confusion about the clip's status, especially if the settings are configured to delete media. Similarly, the "Cut" command and the "Clear" option would also remove the clip from the sequence and could place it on the clipboard, but they do not specifically preserve the media in the same manner that the lift action does.
