panel to load that clip into the Source Monitor.

Click the Overlay icon on the Source Monitor. This sends the trimmed clip to 
the Timeline at the position of the current-time indicator.
More practice
This is the fastest way to edit. You can practice it some more with the rest of the 
clips; you have three more clips to add to the Timeline to finish this edit:
t
Seventh clip name
: Medieval_Hero_02.mpeg. In point: 00:00:31:18. 
Out point: 00:00:36:03.
t
Eighth clip name
: Medieval_villain_01.mpeg. In point: 00:00:30:20. 
Out point: 00:00:35:23.
t
Ninth clip name
: Medieval_villain_03.mpeg. In point: 00:00:43:17. 
Out point: 00:00:49:16.
The edit will go very fast using the method you just learned. Use this procedure for 
each clip:
1
Load the clip into the Source Monitor by double-clicking it on the Project panel.
2
Set the In and Out points, and then click the Overlay icon (or press the period 
key, which is the keyboard shortcut).
3
Repeat for the next clip.
The more you practice this method, the more natural it will be. Practice using 
keyboard shortcuts for setting In and Out points and sending them to the Timeline 
(insert or overlay), and you’ll get faster and faster at editing. This is the preferred 
workflow for many professional editors.
#
 Note:
When you 
perform an overlay 
edit like this, the 
current-time indicator 
automatically moves to 
the end of the new clip. 
It’s set in the correct 
location to receive the 
next clip. Be careful not 
to move the current-
time indicator to a 
different location; this 
is what determines 
where the new clip 
will be inserted on the 
Timeline.
 Tip:
The keyboard 
shortcut to set the In 
point is the I key. The 
keyboard shortcut to 
set the Out point is the 
O key. The keyboard 
shortcut to send the 
trimmed clip to the 
Timeline in an overlay 
is the period (.) key; 
the keyboard shortcut 
to send the trimmed 
clip to the Timeline 
as an insert is the 
comma (,) key.
