Which of the following is true about the data saved by a Cut Time operation?

• A. It saves only the cut range, with no ruler data.
• B. It includes the included rulers (tempo, meter, marker) and is stored in the clipboard.
• C. It saves to a separate file on disk.
• D. It disables tempo changes during the cut.

Answer: (B)

Cut Time stores more than just the audio data. When you perform this operation, Pro Tools captures the time range you cut and also includes the session’s tempo, meter, and marker information in the clipboard. That means when you paste the cut material, the tempo map and markers come along with it, preserving the timing context. This data is kept in the clipboard (in memory), not written to a separate file on disk. It doesn’t disable tempo changes or otherwise alter tempo behavior; it simply ensures the ruler data travels with the pasted material.
