By default, the Replace Edit button is located on the Edit tab of the Command Palette. You can
use it from the Command Palette or map it to a monitor palette. For information about mapping
buttons, see “Understanding Button Mapping” on page 110.
Sync Point editing, which is similar to replace editing, lets you overwrite material in the
sequence based on the alignment of position indicators in the source material and in the
Timeline. The difference is that Sync Point edits end at the nearest marks in either the source or
record material, and replace edits always fill the In to Out portion of the clip in the sequence. For
more information on sync point editing, see “Sync Point Editing” on page 614.
To perform a replace edit:
1. Move the position indicator to select a sync frame in the source clip.
The frame displays in the monitor.
The sync frame can be an In point, Out point, or any frame in between that you want to sync
to a frame in the existing clip in the sequence.
2. Move the position indicator to select the sync frame in the sequence for the edited segment
that you want to replace.
3. Click the Replace Edit button (blue).
