OVERLAY (SHIFT+PASTE) FROM CLIPBOARD
Overlay is similar to PASTE in that it pastes
over
any existing material at the point of
pasting but, if there are any gaps in the material being pasted, these are ‘transparent’ and
will reveal any audio ‘underneath’. For example:
NOW
BEFORE OVERLAY
AFTER OVERLAY
Compare this with PASTE where the gap in the pasted material ‘obscures’ the material
beneath it.
NOW
BEFORE PASTE
AFTER PASTE
When using PASTE, the area ‘underneath’ the gap being pasted over would not be heard
whereas with OVERLAY it would.
Pressing OVERLAY (SHIFT+PASTE) will display this screen:
As with paste, you may overlay material from the default clipboard 0 or from clipboards 1-
9. EXECUTE completes the action and closes the screen. If you are not sure of the
clipboard you have selected to OVERLAY, you can press PLAY to audition it prior to
committing it.
OVERLAYING TO OUT AND SYNC REFERENCES
You may overlay referenced to the source material’s SYNC or OUT points simply by
pressing SYNC or OUT prior to pressing EXECUTE (see PASTING TO SYNC OR OUT
REFERENCES for a detailed description of using the SYNC and OUT keys for back-
timing).
