Overwrite Editing
Overwrite editing is different to Insert
editing and serves a very different purpose.
Overwrite editing is very effective for adding
B-roll shots to an edit, or covering up jump
cuts in an interview. Insert editing makes
the Timeline longer and pushes everything
forward, whereas Overwrite editing does
not affect the duration at all. As the name
suggests, using this type of edit writes over
a portion of the Timeline.
Use the Edit menu to access Overwrite edit,

letter D.
