Appending, inserting, and overwriting clips to a storyline
The safest and simplest way to add a clip to a project is to append it. No matter where your playhead is currently located in a project, appending a clip from your browser will always throw it to the end of the project, ensuring you don't accidentally overwrite a clip or split a clip into two.
In other scenarios, however, we may realize we need to go back to an earlier stage in a project and stick a new clip in the middle somewhere. Maybe we want to add some short filler clip between two interview sound bites. We can accomplish this by inserting. If we don't mind being a bit more destructive, we can also overwrite, which plows over anything in its path.
