Replace Editing
- this is used to overwrite a shot into the Timeline, from the
Viewer, with the duration being determined by the shot which already exists in
the Timeline. By marking an 'in' point in both the Viewer and Timeline/Canvas,
the shot being edited will match the duration of the shot being replaced in the
Timeline. There is no need to mark an 'out' point.
Fit to Fill
- Four points need to be marked to achieve a Fit to Fill edit: an 'in'
and 'out' point in the Viewer and an 'in' and 'out' point in the Timeline or Canvas.
The shot in the Viewer will then be either sped up or slowed down to fit into
the space of the shot which is being overwritten in the Timeline. The overwritten
section of the Timeline will then need to be rendered (dealt with later).
Superimpose
- This is used for creating a second layer of video. When using
this type of edit a shot is edited from the Viewer to the second video track in
the Timeline. No apparent result will be noticed, other than that of an overwrite
edit, unless the edited shot is reduced in size, effectively creating a picture in
picture. If the opacity of the clip were to be adjusted then a superimposition
would be the result.
