When you click the Source Overwrite button, a synced section of the selected Media Pool clip
will be edited into the Timeline between the In and Out points you placed, superimposed on
top. The result is a perfectly timed cutaway.
Using Source Overwrite to edit a superimposed and synced section
of the source clip into the Timeline between the In/Out points
Alternatively, you can also use Source Overwrite to automatically place a source clip with a
marked In/Out region on top of a clip in the Timeline so that its timecode syncs with the
timecode of the timeline clip, when you don’t know exactly how much of the incoming source
clip you want to edit into the Timeline, and you just want it synced appropriately.
