What is the function of the Segment - Splic-in tool?

The Segment - Splice-in tool is designed specifically for inserting segments into a timeline within AVID Media Composer. When using this tool, you can take a selected segment from the bin or other part of your project and insert it at the current position in the timeline. This action effectively adds the new material without overwriting any existing clips, making it a crucial function for editing sequences where maintaining the integrity of the original content is important.

In the context of video editing, this functionality allows editors to build their narratives seamlessly, integrating new footage, such as clips, B-roll, or other segments, without disrupting the flow of the existing content on the timeline. This is particularly useful for storytelling, enhancing the pacing, or adding necessary elements without loss of previously edited work.
