7 In the toolbar, click the insert button, or press the F9 key to Insert edit the clip.
8 Press Shift-Z to see the entire timeline. Then position the timeline playhead at the start
of the second interview clip, and press spacebar to review the last half of the timeline.
When you start to rely on keyboard shortcuts for a lot of your editing, it is important to be
aware of which viewer is active. You want to make sure you are moving the playhead and
marking in and out points in the correct viewer before you tap a keyboard key or you will
be setting those points in the wrong places. The best way to know which viewer is active is
by looking at the clip or timeline name above the viewer. The active viewer appears in red.
9 Press the Q key to activate the source viewer.
The Q key is a toggle, so it will switch between activating the timeline or the
sourceviewer.
The insert and overwrite edit functions you have used so far are the two most commonly
used edits throughout a program. After performing the edit a few times, you should more
fully understand the usefulness of an insert edit. Let’s make the case for the overwriteedit.
Overwriting video only
When creating a rough cut, you may want to replace the footage of your interview subject
with B-roll, which is secondary footage that illustrates what he or she is discussing. You may
choose to do this to refocus the audience’s attention, hide problems with the existing video,
or enhance the subject’s commentary. This is called a cut-away because the visual temporarily
cuts away from the main action. Although you can perform a cut away, using the place on
top function as you did in the cut page, on the edit page you also can perform a cut-away
using an overwrite edit.
1 In the timeline, position the playhead between the 08_SOUTH_POLE_DC3 clipand
the second Interview clip, 02_if it was possible.
