Smart Insert
Automatically inserts an incoming clip at the closest edit point to the playhead (as shown by the
Smart Indicator) on the selected track, pushing all clips to the right of the edit point forward to
make room for the incoming clip you’ve inserted to Track 1. Because this is a smart operation,
you are prevented from inserting a clip at any arbitrary frame; incoming clips are only inserted at
the closest previously existing edit point.

Append
The position of the playhead is ignored; incoming clips are always placed after the last clip in
the Timeline.

RIPL O/WR (Ripple Overwrite)
At its simplest, Ripple Overwrite substitutes a clip in the Timeline with an incoming clip. If you
use Ripple Overwrite on a clip on Track 1, this will automatically move all clips that are to the
right of the affected clip in the Timeline either forward to make room if the incoming clip is
longer, or back to eliminate gaps if the incoming clip is shorter.
