If you want to insert clips instead of overwriting, which command do you use while pasting?

• A. Edit > Insert Clip
• B. Edit > Paste Insert
• C. Edit > Add Clips
• D. Edit > Paste

Answer: (B)

The command used to insert clips instead of overwriting existing clips is "Edit > Paste Insert." This action allows you to add new clips to the timeline without affecting or removing any existing content. When you use the Paste Insert command, the inserted clips push the clips that are already on the timeline to the right, creating space for the new additions. This is particularly useful when you want to retain all the original clips and structure of your timeline while adding new material. The other choices do not fulfill this specific function: "Edit > Insert Clip" and "Edit > Add Clips" are not standard commands in most video editing software for this purpose, and "Edit > Paste" typically performs an overwrite action, replacing the selected area with the copied clips instead of inserting them. Thus, the choice of "Edit > Paste Insert" is the appropriate command for inserting clips while preserving existing content.
