Overwrite parts of your project
In an overwrite edit, one or more source clips overwrite any clips in the primary storyline or
a selected storyline, starting at a range selection start point or at the playhead or skimmer
position. No clip items are rippled forward, so the duration of your project remains the same.

Before edit
Overwriting media is dierent from replacing it. Overwriting works with range selections only,
not entire clips, and it is not constrained by clip boundaries. Use an overwrite edit when you
want to edit media for a specic span of time, rather than specic shots.
Note: You can use three-point editing to make overwrite edits. For more information, see Three-
point editing overview on page 287.
Overwrite clips in the Timeline with clips from the Browser
1 Select one or more clips in the Browser.
If there are multiple source clips in the selection, the clips will appear in the Timeline in the order
in which they were selected.
2 To dene where you want the overwrite clip to start in the Timeline, do one of the following in
the primary storyline or a selected storyline:
•
Position the playhead.
•
Select a range involving one or more clips in the Timeline.
Note: The overwrite command ignores whole clip selections in the Timeline. If you don’t select
a range in the Timeline, Final Cut Pro positions the start of the overwrite clip at the playhead or
skimmer position.
