OVERLAY FROM LIBRARY

It is also possible to overlay material from the library. Pressing F5/F6 will give the usual
library page:
Operation is identical to PASTE. Use the CURSOR UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT keys to select
the clip you wish to overlay into your project and press EXECUTE to overlay the clip at the
required point and also close the screen. If you are at all unsure about a particular clip,
use the INFO page to find out more. You may select different libraries to overlay from if
you wish and, of course, you may select different libraries on different disks.
NOTE: Please refer to PASTE FROM LIBRARY for specific details on this as the process is
identical.
You may audition a clip at any time by pressing PLAY on F3/F4.
NOTE: If you wish to keep the library page open to repeatedly overlay clips into your
project, you can press SHIFT+EXECUTE. This will overlay the selected clip into the project
but will keep the library page open so that you can maybe jog to a new position and
overlay another clip without needing to leave this library page.
You may also overlay a clip referenced to its OUT point or SYNC marker (if one has been
marked) by pressing OUT or SYNC prior to pressing EXECUTE.
NOTE: If you try to overlay referenced to a SYNC mark and there isn't one, it will overlay
referenced to the source material's IN point
