 Overwrite with transition: This is the same as an overwrite edit, except that the
default transition is used at the In point of the edit to transition between the
previous clip and your source clip.
 Replace: A replace edit replaces a clip in your sequence with the source clip, aligning
the frame at the Viewer playhead location with the frame at the Canvas/Timeline
playhead location. This type of edit does not use In and Out points in the same way
as insert and overwrite edits. For more information, see “
Performing a Replace Edit ”
on page 156.
 Fit to fill: This edit type changes the speed of your source clip so that its duration
matches the duration determined either by sequence In and Out points, or by the
duration of the clip in the Timeline that intersects the playhead. Unlike other edit
types, this type requires you to select four In and Out points instead of three. See
Volume III, Chapter 17, “Changing Clip Speed and Time Remapping.”
 Superimpose: The video and audio of your source clip are automatically edited into
tracks above and below the currently selected video and audio destination tracks,
using either specified sequence In and Out points in the Timeline, or the duration of
the clip in the destination track that intersects the playhead. You can use this edit to
quickly add a video clip above another for subtitles, compositing, and so on. For
more information, see “
Superimposing Clips ” on page 162.
Performing the Different Types of Edits
The following section tells you how to perform the most common types of edits for
adding content to a sequence. These procedures assume that you’ve already set In and
Out points and destination tracks in the Timeline. For more information, see Chapter 7,
“
Setting Edit Points for Clips and Sequences ,” on page 99 and “ Specifying Destination
Tracks in the Timeline ” on page 123.
