On the Edit page, drag-and-drop editing is limited to overwrite edits only.

• A. Insert edits only
• B. Overwrite and insert edits
• C. Overwrite edits only
• D. No edits are possible with drag-and-drop

Answer: (C)

The action being tested is how drag-and-drop editing behaves on the Edit page. When you drag a clip onto the timeline, Resolve performs an overwrite edit by design: the incoming clip starts at the drop point and replaces the existing frames there, without creating new space or shifting the rest of the timeline (unless you activate a separate ripple/insert workflow). This makes it quick to swap a shot or replace a portion of the sequence without altering the overall timing of what comes after it.

Because of this behavior, you can’t perform an insert edit simply by dragging a clip onto the timeline—an insert would require moving subsequent content to make room. To insert, you’d use a different command or mode outside the basic drag-and-drop action. That’s why the correct statement is overwrite edits only.
