This is an example of an insert edit. An insert edit places a clip in the timeline, and moves the following clips to the right, therefore, the surrounding clips are not cut or recorded over. To do this, one must drag a clip from the source panel to the timeline, hold down the CTRL key, and place the clip in its selected or designated location. I decided to insert the 2nd clip where I did because I wanted to see the difference between an insert and an overlay. I placed the clip in the exact same places in both workshops because I was interested in the contrast. What I discovered was, an overlay is more chronological while and insert seems more like the rider is having a flashback.
The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is: an overlay places a clip directly over existing clips and records over it, while an insert splits the original clip in segments and does not record over them, it simply moves the surrounding clips to the right. One would use an overlay when time is chronological, while one would use an insert edit when time is broken (i.e. flashback). In this case, an overlay edit is better because it establishes a constant record of time. This creates a more clear vision of the event being documented and fails to confuse the viewer. While an insert might be interesting to use when a more complex storyline is in play with the intent of explaining what is occurring in the rider's mind, at this time, I believe an overlay is more appropriate.
