"Overwrite" mode does not change the total length of the project. The new material is
only inserted at the start of the specified range:
The ripple function moves the material in the range together with the subsequent
objects. This changes the total length according to the length of the range:
Four-point editing
The four-point edit places new material into the project with the help of a total of four
marker points.
A range is set in both the source material as well as in the project, and one of the
insert modes described above is used. The function is the same for each mode
(overwrite and ripple): The section from the source material is inserted precisely into
the range specified in the project window.
If both ranges are coincidentally the same size (which is normally the exception), the
new material will be stretched or pinched automatically. The playback speed of the
video is changed analog to the time stretching applied to the audio track.
Because timestretching for an audio track is only possible and sensible in certain
cases, the audio is removed when larger changes are made (above a factor of 2). A
corresponding confirmation dialog appears first so that the procedure can also be
canceled, e.g. to carry out a three-point edit instead.
Move the contents of trimmed objects
You can adjust the contents of a trimmed video object quickly and easily without
changing the object length.
1. Select the trimmed video object.
If the video has not been trimmed, the video object contents cannot be moved,
because the entire video will be shown.
