Performing an Overwrite Edit
An overwrite edit replaces a section of the sequence with the material you select from the Source monitor or a Source pop-up monitor. Unlike a splice-in edit, an overwrite edit replaces existing material and therefore does not lengthen the overall duration of the sequence.
To perform an overwrite edit:
| 1. | |
In the Source pop-up monitor, mark an IN point or an OUT point, but
not both, to show the start or end of the clip you want to use.
|
| 2. | |
In the Composer monitor, mark both an IN point and an OUT point to
select the material in the sequence you want to overwrite. You can also
mark an OUT point and move the position indicator in the Timeline or
position bar to the IN point.
|
| 3. | |
Click the red Overwrite button on the Tool palette, or press the
Overwrite key on the keyboard, to complete the edit.
