Overlay Edit




This is an example of an overlay edit.  An overlay edit places a clip over another.   To do this, you drag the clip from the source panel directly on to the timeline.  I decided to overlay the 2nd clip where I did because I felt that breaking it up directly in the middle provided somewhat of a before , middle, and after effect.  I realize that I have not saved this project as a widescreen and I plan to make sure this is done correctly next time. In fact Dr. A even showed me the reminders of how to save it in that format. I believe that I attempted to overlay a few clips on a Premiere Pro project  in a different class, but I did not have the tools, and ended up having to just get rid of the idea all together. It is nice to know that now, I won't have to do that.  When you use an overlay, it just plays over the footage that you drag and place it over. This keeps you from creating  a ripple, which later if you choose to get rid of an insert, you would have to delete. I finished this project with the help of Haley Barker.
