Which key is used as the shortcut for the Lift function in AVID Media Composer?

The Lift function in AVID Media Composer is a critical editing feature that allows users to remove a selected portion of a clip from the timeline while maintaining the rest of the timeline intact. The shortcut assigned to this function is the Z key. When you press the Z key, the selected section of the timeline is lifted, which means that all media to the right of the lifted section shifts left to fill the gap, keeping the continuity of the edit.

Understanding this functionality is essential for efficient editing workflows, as it allows editors to quickly manipulate and refine their projects without needing to navigate through multiple menus. The other options do not correspond to the Lift function, as they are assigned to different editing commands within Media Composer, which can lead to confusion if not clearly understood.
