3 Open a clip into the Source Viewer.
4 Move the playhead in the Source Viewer to the frame that you want to line up with the
frame at the position of the playhead in the Timeline.
In the example shown below, the original clip that was shot on location of a car driving
past a slab of real concrete (shown in the Timeline Viewer at right) is going to be
replaced by a VFX shot of a concrete wall with a small hole for the car to drive through
(shown in the Source Viewer at left). The playhead in the Source Viewer is aligned on
the very same frame as the playhead in the Timeline Viewer, which can be seen by the
identical position of the white stripe on the road in the lower right-hand corner of
the picture.
In the Source Viewer to the left is a VFX clip we want to edit into the Timeline
to replace the existing Timeline clip, shown in the Timeline Viewer at right
5 Now that the playheads are aligned on the frames that must match one another in
both the Source and Timeline Viewers, choose Edit > Replace, click the Replace
Clip button in the toolbar, press F11, or drag any clip onto the Replace overlay in the
TimelineViewer.
The resulting replace edit, in which the original timeline clip is replaced by
the incoming Source Viewer clip by aligning the frames at each playhead
The camera original clip in the Timeline is now replaced with the VFX source clip from
the Media Pool, with the source frame at the Source Viewer playhead aligned with the
frame at the Timeline playhead.
Replace Edits to Edit Clips Into Empty Tracks
You can also use a replace edit to edit a clip into an empty track of the Timeline so that the
frame at the position of the Source playhead is aligned with the Timeline playhead, and the In
and Out points of the incoming clip fall where they may. This is useful when you want to “spot” a
particular action of an alternate take or a cue in a sound effect to a specific frame of
the Timeline.
