Editing Segments in the Timeline Using Segment Mode
The total duration of the sequence is unaffected unless you place the seg-
ment you’re moving beyond the end of the sequence.
Combining Segment Modes
Media Composer also offers a way to turn on the Extract/Splice-in and
Lift/Overwrite functions as one Segment mode function. By clicking both
arrows in the Smart Tool, you can enable each of these functions, and
depending on where your mouse pointer is, it will enable one or the other.
To combine Extract/ Splice-in and Lift/Overwrite
into one Segment mode function:
1. In Segment mode, select both the Extract/Splice-in and the Lift/
Overwrite buttons.
2. Do one of the following:
 Place the pointer in the upper half of the segment to enable Lift/
Overwrite Segment mode.
 Place the pointer in the lower half of the segment to enable Extract/
Splice-in Segment mode.
If your pointer is in the
upper half of the segment,
Lift/Overwrite Segment
mode is enabled
If your pointer is in the
lower half of the segment,
Extract/Splice-in Segment
mode is enabled

segments on the source
track and pushes down all
segments on the target
track (which is usually not
the desired result).
