Edit Styles
Avid Liquid’s two Edit Styles determine how objects are inserted on the Timeline, regardless of whether
you use a mouse (drag&drop) or the Insert Arrow and Source Viewer:
Overwrite Style
Objects that are inserted overwrite any objects or gaps on the particular Tr a c k . page 391
Film Style
As at the film cutting table, here the material at the insertion point is “cut” and the clip is inserted
between the “two parts”. Subsequent objects and gaps are shifted accordingly. page 392
When insertion is by drag&drop ( page 424), the Source Track Mappings are not used. See “Source Track
Mapping” on page 387.
For Upgraders: Studio Style
A third Edit Style was integrated for former Pinnacle Studio users: Studio Style. The toolbutton is the
same as for Overwrite Style described below, except that the center square is blue.
In Studio Style, clips on the Timeline are inserted and deleted just as they are in Studio. It is highly recom-
mended that you not combine the other Edit Styles with Studio Style. The Studio Style is recommended
for beginners who want to put together a film quickly, using the same familiar methods. However, only
the Overwrite and Film Styles allow you to enjoy the full range of editing options offered by Avid Liquid.
