1. Double-click a clip in a Project panel or sequence to open it in the Source Monitor.
2. Place the playhead at the point in the sequence where you want to insert the clip.
3. In the Timeline panel, click the headers of the tracks where you want to insert the source clip’s components to target them.
4. Drag the source clip track indicators to the headers of the tracks where you want to insert the source clip’s components.
5. Click the Sync Lock box in the header of any track you want to shift as a result of the insertion.
Note: Any track that is either targeted or sync-lock-enabled will be affected by Insert; only non-targeted tracks with Sync Lock disabled will
be unaffected. If a track has no source track indicator, or if the track is not targeted but is operated on because its Sync Lock is enabled,
then an empty track background will be inserted on that track at the CTI for the duration of the source clip
6. In the Source Monitor, click the Insert button .
The audio and video components of the clip will be inserted into the tracks selected at the playhead. Clips to the right of its location on its own
track and tracks with Sync Lock enabled will shift to the right by the length of the inserted clip.

Overwrite a clip into a sequence
1. Double-click a clip in a Project panel or sequence to open it in the Source Monitor.
2. Place the playhead at the point in the sequence where you want to overwrite the clip.
3. Click the headers of the tracks where you want to overwrite the source clip components to target them.
4. Drag the source clip track indicators to the headers of the tracks where you want to overwrite the source clip components.
Note: During an overwrite edit, if a targeted track has no source track indicator, then an empty track background will be inserted on that
track for the duration of the source clip, removing any previous contents at that location
5. In the Source Monitor, click the Overlay (called Overwrite in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later) button .
The audio and video components of the clip will be overlaid onto the tracks selected at the playhead.

Insert or Overwrite by dragging a clip to the Program panel
In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, you can select and drag a clip from the Project panel, Source panel, or Media Browser into the Program
monitor. When doing so, an overlay appears in monitor to provide a visual depiction of Overwrite versus Insert edits. A tool tip appears to describe
the modifier key used to toggle between these different types of edits. To perform an Insert or Overwrite edit by dragging a clip to the Program
panel, do the following:
Drag-and-drop to overwrite edit (default drag, no modifier).
Drag-and-drop to Insert edit (hold down Command/Ctrl key modifier).
The clip, or clips that can be dragged to the Program panel can either be from the Project panel, or the Media Browser. They can be AV, video
only, or audio only clips.
When a clip is dragged from the Project panel or the Media Browser into the Program monitor's video display area, the Overwrite overlay appears
by default when no modifier key is held down. A tool tip is displayed underneath the clip's thumbnail image, to drop (mouse release) to create an
overwrite edit, and that holding down the Command/Ctrl key creates an insert edit instead.
Multiple clips dragged to the Program monitor do not display a multiple clip stack icon. The file stack clip icon does not truly depict the number of
clips being dragged.
When the modifier key is held down, the overlay updates to display the Insert edit overlay. You can toggle back and forth between the
Overwrite/Insert modes in the middle of the drag-and-drop action. Hold down the modifier key and the overlay displays update.
Make three-point and four-point edits
The Source and Program Monitors provide controls to perform three-point and four-point edits—standard techniques in traditional video editing.
In a three-point edit, you mark either two In points and one Out point, or two Out points and one In point. You don’t have to actively set the fourth
point; it’s inferred by the other three. For example, in a typical three-point edit you would specify the starting and ending frames of the source clip
(the source In and Out points), and when you want the clip to begin in the sequence (the sequence In point). Where the clip ends in the sequence
—the unspecified sequence Out point—is automatically determined by the three points you defined. However, any combination of three points
accomplishes an edit. For example, sometimes the point where a clip ends in a sequence is more critical than where it begins. In this case, the
three points include source In and Out points, and a sequence Out point. On the other hand, if you need the clip to begin and end at particular
points in the sequence—say, perfectly over a line of voice-over narration—you could set two points in the sequence, and only one point in the
source.
Maxim Jago explains and demonstrates three-point edits in this video from “Adobe Premiere Pro CS5: Learn By Video.”
In a four-point edit, you mark source In and Out points and sequence In and Out points. A four-point edit is useful when the starting and ending
