How to insert a clip in the middle of your project

(without losing synchro in the following edits)

This is not a straightforward process when the number of tracks of your project is different from the the number of tracks of the clip you want to insert.

  1. Save your project.

  2. Arm only the tracks you want to be affected.

  3. Splice the clip from the viewer. Synchro will be lost.

  4. On the timeline, select between in/out points the just spliced edit.

  5. Arm only the tracks not affected by the splice.

  6. Edit→Paste silence. Synchro will be restored.

  7. Make sure the paste silence operation moved effects too.
