Overlays, Inserts

This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip on top of another clip. To do this, you select the area in which you want the overlay to be at, and then you drag it OVER the original clip. I decided to add the 2nd clip where I did because to me that made the most sense where it ended up. Although the clip was an odd one to edit.




The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is an overlay OVERLAYS a clip, and insert is an inserted clip into another clip interuppting the original clip without losing anything. You would use an overlay when you want a bit of an interruption, while you’d use an insert edit when you want everything nice and smooth. In this case the insert edit works better because it looks smoother then the other cips, overlay.
