4 To make the edit, choose Edit > Overwrite, click the Overwrite Clip button in the toolbar,
press the F10 key, or drag a clip onto the Overwrite overlay in the Timeline Viewer.
Before and after an overwrite edit, the Timeline duration stays the same
The selected clips in the Media Pool are overwrite edited to the selected track starting
at the position of the playhead, eliminating whatever was there originally while adding
incoming clip. No other clips are rippled during this operation.
Insert Edits
An insert edit splits whatever media is already in the Timeline at the position of the playhead,
and pushes that media to the right to make room for the incoming clip.
Insert edits have the effect of rippling almost all clips in the Timeline that are to the right of the
insert edit point you’re making, pushing them farther to the right by the duration of the incoming
source clip. However, clips in any tracks of the Timeline that overlap to the left of the insert edit
point aren’t rippled, and remain in place.
For example, if you’re insert editing a clip into the middle of a sequence of clips in track V1 and
A1 of the Timeline, and there’s also a clip of music edited into track A2 that overlaps well to the
left of the insert edit point, the music clip remains where it is, but the other clips on track V1 and
A1 that are to the right of your edit point on are pushed to the right.
To insert edit one or more clips into the Timeline:
1 Move the playhead to the frame of the Timeline where you want to insert a clip.
2 Click the appropriate audio and video destination controls of the tracks you want to edit
the incoming source clip onto. If necessary, create new tracks.
3 If necessary, set In and Out points in the clip or clips you want to insert edit into the
Timeline using the controls of the Media Pool or the Source Viewer.
4 Do one of the following:
–
Select one or more clips in the Media Pool, right-click one of the selected clips, and
choose “Insert Selected Clips to Timeline.”
–
Choose Edit > Insert, click the Insert Edit button in the toolbar, press the F9 key, or
drag any clip onto the Insert overlay in the Timeline Viewer.
