Assembling a sequence

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 the Timeline panel or the Program Monitor.

•

Use the Insert and Overlay buttons in the Source Monitor to add clips to the Timeline panel. Or use the keyboard
shortcuts associated with those buttons.

•

Automatically assemble a sequence according to how the clips are arranged in 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.
