Note: the Crossfade option does not overwrite the content on the track,
instead adding an overlap transition between the two clips. See Setting
Transition Behavior for more information. The Crossfade option is only
available if the end of the new clip is not over any existing content on the
track.
Replace: select to replace the current clip on the timeline with the color
board/background. Use this option if you don't want to change the structure

Note: if the duration of the clip you are replacing is longer or shorter than
