If you drag a single object to the Timeline, different drop options appear when you
drag the file over a layer track, or within a layer track. If you drag to the layer track, the
drop options are Composite, Insert, and Overwrite. If you drag to an object within a
layer, the Exchange option is added to the drop options.
Note: Like the Layers tab in the Project pane, you can only perform a composite (create
a new layer or add an object to a layer) or replace when a file is dragged to the
Timeline Layer list.
Inserting Media
The following example discusses the Timeline’s drop menu Insert option.
To insert an object:
1 In the Library (or Media tab), select the object.
2 Drag the object to the Timeline tracks area.
As you drag, the current frame number is displayed at the pointer.
3 When you reach the frame where you want the new object to start, stop and hold
down the mouse button.
The drop menu appears.
4 Choose Insert.
