A simple cut in the timeline means you cut out a clip from the video. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline leave a gap where the clip once was. A ripple edit is when you cut a clip out of the video, but don't want a gap between the other clips. You do this by right clicking on the clip and selecting "ripple delete". When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip move in to get rid of the gap the clip left behind. Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut clips out of your video at one time. To do this, you create in and out points on the clip you want to lift or extract and then push which key you want to do the desired comand on the program panel.Lifting is like cutting or deleting a clip only, while extracting is like the ripple edit option, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.This is an example of an extract edit. I decided to extract the two clips where Idid because it made the most sense.

Inserts
This is an example of an insert edit. An insert edit places a clip in between another one while keeping the other clip the same length and in this edit, you do not cut off any part of the original clip, you simply place the new one in between the original one. To do this you simply click and drag the clip from the source panel into your timeline all while holding down the Ctrl key. I decided to place the 2nd clip where I did because it made you see the big jump and see her expression after it.
The difference between an overlay and an insert is that when you use an overlay when you want to replace a certain part of the video and you use insert you use it when you just want to add a clip in without replacing any of the main video. You would use an overlay when you want to cut something out of the main video, while you'd use an insert edit when you just want to add something without replacing anything. In this case the overlay edit works better because there is alot of dead time in the video and you can use the overlay to shorten it and give it a better feel to the audience.

Overlays
This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay places a clip over another clip and replaces the one you have laid it over. To do this, you click and drag your edited clip from the source panel onto the desired place in your timeline. I decided to overlay the 2nd clip where i did because it seemed, to me, to be the best possible place for that edited clip.
