Adding clips to sequences
Adding clips to a sequence
You can add clips to a sequence in the following ways:
•
Drag the clip from the Project panel or Source Monitor to a Timeline panel or the Program Monitor.
•
Use the Insert and Overlay buttons in the Source Monitor to add clips to a Timeline panel. Or use the keyboard
shortcuts associated with those buttons.
•
Automatically assemble a sequence from the Project panel.
An overlay edit adds a clip by replacing any frames already in a sequence starting from the edit point and extending
for the length of the clip. Overlay is the default method when dragging a clip to a sequence or when rearranging clips
in a sequence.
Adding a clip by overlaying existing clips
With an insert edit, adding a clip to the sequence forces any clips later in time to shift forward to accommodate the new
clip. When dragging a clip, press the Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) key to shift into insert mode.
Adding a clip by inserting it between clips
If one or more tracks is locked, an insert edit shifts clips in all unlocked tracks. To prevent an insert edit from shifting
clips in a track, lock the track. Alternatively, click the Sync Lock button in the header of every track you want to shift.
