When doing the overlay I learned that it is used to edit a clip so that it doesnt mess up the sequence. The time of the video stays the same when using an overlay technique. This brilliant technique produces a clean finish on the video project, it flows better(especially in clips that contain action).



Insert editing allows any clip to be added to the video with out covering anything up. The duration of the video becomes longer. When you add a clip with insert editing techniques it pushes the time line further down. This type of editing is best for interviews and such. Although on the video above it has an awkward fit, because after the inserted clip the video leaves on where it was last at. It forms a little confusion. That is why overlay editing is best for active clips like sporting events, or movies.
