3. Now all that remains is to place the clip you want to
insert. Drag the clip (whether from the Album or
elsewhere on the Timeline) into the hole in the
video track that you’ve just opened up.
If the inserted clip is too long for the space you
created it will be trimmed to fit the space.
Insert editing on the audio track
The converse insert-editing operation, in which a sound
clip is inserted into the audio track over unbroken video,
is needed less often but is also readily performed in
Studio.
The procedure is analogous to the one for inserting
video: simply reverse the roles of the two tracks at
every step.
Split edits
In “split editing”, a clip’s audio and video are
separately trimmed so that the transition to one occurs
before the transition to the other.
In an “L-cut”, the video precedes its sync audio; in a
“J-cut”, the audio comes first.
