Ripple Overwrite
If you drag a clip onto a pre-existing clip in either the Timeline or Upper Timeline so that the
entire clip highlights and you drop it immediately, you’ll perform a Ripple Overwrite edit,
substituting the previous clip in the Timeline with the new clip. If you’ve ripple overwritten a clip
on Track 1, all clips to the right of it will be rippled to make room if the incoming clip is longer, or
close the gap if the incoming clip is shorter.

Overwrite
If you drag a clip onto a pre-existing clip in either the Timeline or Upper Timeline and wait a
moment, the Timeline overlay changes from a highlight over the whole clip to a highlight
showing just the portion of the incoming clip overlaid on the existing clip. When you drop the
clip, you’ll perform an Overwrite edit, which writes over the media that’s already in the Timeline
with the media of the incoming clip. Overwrite edits don’t ripple the Timeline.

breaking it into two pieces while the Timeline remains the same duration
