3 To add the source selection to the project using an overwrite edit, press D.
The new clip starts where
the skimmer was positioned.
The portion of your source selection between the start and end points appears in the
Timeline, starting at the skimmer position.
By dening only three points—the source selection start and end points in the Event
Browser and the destination start point in the Timeline—you have total control of
the edit.
Example: Make a backtimed three-point edit
You can make a three-point edit by dening source selection start and end points in
the Event Browser and a destination end point (instead of a destination start point) in
the Timeline. This is called backtiming a clip. You can use this method when you want
to make sure a particular clip ends at a specic point in a project, on a musical beat. In
the resulting edit, the end point of the media in the Event Browser selection is aligned
with the end point you set in the Timeline, and the rest of the source selection appears
to the left.
