7 To perform an overwrite edit, do one of the following:
Drag the clip from the Source Viewer to the Timeline Viewer and drop it on the
Overwrite overlay. If you’re in single viewer mode, this overlay only appears when
you drag a clip from the Media Pool to the Timeline Viewer.
Click the Overwrite Clip button in the toolbar.
Choose Edit > Overwrite (or press F10).
The selected clip(s) are overwritten to the selected track at the position of the
playhead, and the playhead automatically moves to the end of the newly edited clip,
ready for you to perform another edit. If that clip is the last one on the Timeline, you’ll
see the last frame to the left of the playhead (with a jagged overlay at the right-hand
side of the Timeline Viewer) instead of the black that is the actual frame after that clip.
This makes it easier for you to line up the next edit. Otherwise, the playhead will show
whatever frame happens to be at that point in time.
The Timeline playhead at the first frame after the clip you’ve just
edited; the Timeline Viewer shows a jagged overlay at the right to
let you know this isn’t a real frame
8 To edit another clip, open the next clip you want to edit into the Source Viewer, set
In and Out points, and use the Overwrite Clip button or command to edit it into the
Timeline. Continue this process until you’ve edited together the assembly of edits
youwant.
