 Overwrite: A template clip is added to your sequence with an overwrite edit. The
template clip is placed at the current In point on the current destination video track.
 Insert: A template clip is added to your sequence with an insert edit. The template
clip is placed at the current In point on the current destination video track.
 Superimpose: A template clip is added to your sequence above the current
destination video track, and the template clip placement is based on the current In
and Out points or playhead position.
For more information about overwrite, insert, and superimpose edits, see Volume II,
Chapter 10, “Three-Point Editing.”
After the template clip is placed in your sequence, it is automatically opened in the
Viewer with the Controls tab active. You can now customize the template clip
parameters in the Viewer.
Customizing Template Clip Parameters in the Viewer
After editing a template clip into your sequence, you can customize its parameters.
Much like generator clip parameters, the customizable parameters for a template clip
are displayed in the Controls tab of the Viewer.
The following template clip parameters can be customized in Final Cut Pro:
 Text
 Text size
 Text tracking
 Still images or moving footage
 Position of still images and moving footage
The timing of a template clip can be adjusted by applying constant speed changes or
time remapping. For more information, see Chapter 17, “
Changing Clip Speed
and Time Remapping ,” on page 337.
