Lifting/Overwriting Segments
Use Lift/Overwrite to replace existing material at the new position, while leaving blank space in the previous position. The total duration of the sequence is unaffected. The material in the sequence remains in sync.
Like the standard Overwrite function, the Lift/Overwrite edit deletes and replaces underlying material at the new position, effectively creating new edits. It also lifts the segments from the previous position, leaving black or silence of the same duration on the track (V1) selected.

To perform a Lift/Overwrite edit:
| 1. | |
Click the Lift/Overwrite button (red arrow) in the Timeline bottom
toolbar.
|
| 2. | |
Select the segment you want to move.
|
| 3. | |
Place a mark or the position indicator at the spot where you want to
move the segment.
|
| 4. | |
Click the segment, and drag it to its new position.

| 5. | |
Release the mouse button.

The system lifts the selected segment from its old position, leaving
black filler, and then overwrites the material onto the sequence at the
newly selected location.
| 6. | |
Click the Lift/Overwrite button again if you want to leave Segment
mode, or continue to lift and overwrite segments.

To undo a segment move, select Edit > Undo or press Ctrl+Z (Windows) or
Command+Z (Macintosh).
