Overwrite editing affects media at which location?

• A. Adds a new track
• B. Merges two clips
• C. Duplicates the clip
• D. Replaces existing media at the playhead

Answer: (D)

Overwrite editing replaces existing media at the playhead on the chosen track. When you perform this edit, the incoming clip starts exactly where the playhead sits and writes over whatever frames are on that track for the duration of the new clip. It doesn’t create space by shifting content (that would be an insert edit) and it doesn’t add a new track or duplicate the clip. So the location affected is the timeline content directly under the playhead, on the track you’re editing.
