Answer: (A)

A timeline is the sequence of clips arranged for editing and playback. It’s your editable canvas where you place video and audio on tracks, trim and reorder clips, and add transitions and effects while you preview the edit in real time. You can work with multiple video and audio tracks, scrub through frames, and shape the flow of the story as you want it to unfold. This space is distinct from a render preset, which controls export settings; a color palette, which is used for grading; and a media storage location, which is just where your source files live on disk.
