• Replace from End: The target clip is replaced with the source clip selection, starting
from the end of the source selection. The duration is determined by the duration of
the target clip.
• Replace with Retime to Fit: The target clip is replaced with the entire source clip
selection, retimed to fit the duration of the target clip.
• Replace and Add to Audition: The target clip is replaced with an audition that has the
source clip selection as the pick and the target clip as an alternate. The duration is
determined by the source clip selection. If the source clip and the target clip have
different durations, the subsequent clips ripple.
• Add to Audition: The target clip is replaced with an audition that has the target clip
as the pick and the source clip selection as an alternate.
• Cancel: The replace edit is canceled.
The source clip selection appears in the timeline, in place of the original clip.
Note: In the case of Replace from Start and Replace from End, if the source clip selection is
a range selection with a duration shorter than that of the target clip and there’s sufficient
extra media, the source selection is extended to match the duration of the target clip. The
resulting storyline duration doesn’t change.
