A simple cut in the timeline means cutting one section in the middle of the clip off. Whe you cut the other clips in the timeline it makes the video shorter. A ripple edit is when you are able to get a little section of the clip and cut it off. You do this by right clicking the mouse in the section that you want to get rid of, then click ripple delete. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip move over with the other ones already there. Lifting and extrqacting are two ways to cut a section of the clip from the timeline at one time. To do this, you have to go and follow the procedures the right way. Lifting is when you are able to pick sections up from the clips, while extracting is like deleted things from the clip, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline. This is an example of inserting editting. I decided to use those two clips because I think that they flow together.

This is an example of an Overlay edit.  An Overlay edit places a clip on top of another clip to add another clip in.   To do this, you place a clip over the top of another clip.  I decided to place the 2^nd clip where I did because I felt like I placed the 2nd clip in a correct spot because everything flows together.

This is an example of an insert edit. An insert edit places a clip in a place of the clip and replaces the scene with the length of the second clip. To do this, you drag the clip and drop it somewhere in another clip. I decided to place the 2nd clip where I did because it made complete sense in the reaction of the lady observing the other horserider.
