Pic in Pic (Picture in Picture) (F5)
This key does not function in the Edit page.
Swap (F6)
Press and hold the Swap button, and using the Search dial, move the clip under the playhead
earlier or later in the Timeline, effectively swapping the moving clip with the one you are
scrolling over.
TIP: You can easily move entire scenes back and forth in your timeline by Command
Selecting the all clips in the scene, holding down the Swap key (f6), and rotating the
Search Dial. When the scene is in its correct place, release the key. (Edit page only).
Video Only (F7)
This button locks the audio tracks in place on the Timeline so that all further editing is done
with the video tracks only. Press this button again to release the audio tracks, or press the
Audio Only button. (At the time of this writing, this feature had not been implemented yet.)
Audio Only (F8)
This button locks the video tracks in place on the Timeline so that all further editing is done
with the audio tracks only. Press this button again to release the video tracks, or press the
Video Only button. (At the time of this writing, this feature had not been implemented yet.)
Insert (F9)
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.
O/WR (Overwrite) (F10)
You can use the F10 key to perform an Overwrite edit, which overwrites a section of the
Timeline with the incoming clip, without moving other clips in any way. The frame the incoming
clip aligns with depends on the following:
 The incoming clip aligns with the playhead if no timeline In or Out points have been
defined.
 The incoming clip aligns with a timeline In point if one has been set.
 The incoming clip’s Out point will align with a timeline Out point if one has been set
without an In point. This “backtimes” the clip.
REPL (Replace) (F11)
Replace edits are a unique three-point edit type that aligns the frame at the Source Viewer
playhead with the frame at the Timeline playhead when the edit is executed. This is the fastest
edit type to use when you need to align an action at a specific frame of video, or a sound at a
specific frame of audio, to a particular frame’s action or sound in the video or audio of
the Timeline.
The fastest way of using the Replace edit is to not bother setting either In or Out points in the
Source Viewer, and to either use the duration of an existing clip intersecting the Timeline to
define the edit, or a pair of timeline In/Out points specifying either a section of a clip you want
to overwrite, or an empty section of the Timeline to which you want to edit.
Replace edits do not ripple the Timeline.
