Insert Edit

This is an example of an insert edit. An insert edit places a clip in between another one while keeping the other clip the same length and in this edit, you do not cut off any part of the original clip, you simply place the new one in between the original one. To do this, you simply drag the new edited clip, while pressing “ctrl” on to the spot where you feel is the best place to put the clip so that it may split the original clip in two but not exactly delete any portion of it. I decided to insert the 2nd clip where I did because I felt that, there it would be a perfect place because this is where the horse is running around the hurtle and by inserting the clip here it would show her expression and also I liked the effect of the horse going in around the hurtle and then having the second clip in position, and then transitioning into the horse going out around from the hurtle into the climax of the clip, or when the horse jumps the actual hurtle. I feel that an insert is used to keep all the action of an original clip and also adding new information or clips to that already. Maybe there’s a project with a lot of information that you don’t want to delete or overlay, then an insert edit would be the one to adhere too because it would keep your original clip plus a few more facts. An insert is different than an overlay because it simply gets inserted in the middle of a clip instead of deleting a part of it.
