How do you split a clip in Adobe Premiere Pro?

To split a clip in Adobe Premiere Pro, placing the playhead at the desired location and then using the Razor Tool or pressing Ctrl + K is the correct method. This technique allows you to precisely cut the clip at a specific point on the timeline. By using the Razor Tool, you can visually see where you want to make the cut, ensuring accuracy. Pressing Ctrl + K is a keyboard shortcut that provides a quick way to perform the same action without needing to select the Razor Tool manually.

This method is particularly useful in video editing as it allows for precise editing of clips, which can be crucial when you need to create seamless transitions, remove unwanted sections, or reposition parts of your video. Other methods, such as dragging the clip or adjusting the clip length, may alter the overall content without achieving the intended split. Choosing the right-click option to select "Cut Clip" does not align with the standard, established practices for splitting clips as efficiently as the Razor Tool or shortcut keys do.
