Razor (insert edit with audio)
To insert one scene into another, you must first
create an edit with the razor tool.
The scene is then inserted and subsequent scenes
are shifted to the right.
Deleting a clip
Select the clip and press DEL (or use the trash
icon). All subsequent clips are shifted to the left.
Inserting
You don’t need the Razor, but the Edit Style does
matter:
 Film (Insert) Style () -
Drag a clip to the Timeline clip. The exist-
ing clip is cut at the insert point (Play-
line), the new clip is inserted and the rest
of the clip is shifted to the right along with
all subsequent clips.
 Overwrite Style () -
The existing clip is cut at the insert point
but everything else on the Tra c k is over-
written for the length of the inserted clips.
Razor (Add Edit)
This tool is also available in Avid Liquid: . It’s
generally used to cut an area out of a clip or
divide a clip so that a gap can be created.
Deleting a clip
Select the clip and press DEL. In Overwrite Style, a
gap is opened up; in Film Style, the clips shift to
close the gap.
10 Inserting/Deleting Clips on the Timeline
In contrast to Studio, Avid Liquid has two methods for inserting clips on the Timeline: One method
overwrites clips and gaps and the other shifts whatever follows it.
