Changing the Editing Mode
The Timeline has two editing modes, Overwrite mode (the default) and Splice mode.
For the first edit and for adding one clip after another, you can use either Overwrite
or Splice mode. The difference between these modes is important when you revise
and fine tune your sequence, as described in the table below.
Once you use these modes to edit clips to the sequence in your Timeline, you can
move clips forward or backward within the sequence or use the Trim tool to trim
transitions or to produce split edits.
The Aurora Edit LD editing modes are:
Tool Icon Keyboard
Key Description
Over
write F9 Replaces existing sections of a sequence with new material, leaving the
sequence duration unchanged. Similar to an insert edit in a tape-based
system.
Splice F10 Splices a clip between two existing clips in the Timeline by moving the
two clips apart and inserting the new clip in between them. All clips
after the edit point move downstream and lengthen the sequence.
