Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 530)

For example, if you have a sequence clip of a comedian making a joke, but there’s a long
pause after the joke while the comedian stands there waiting for a reaction, you can
overwrite the pause using a source clip of an audience laughing. To do this, you position

perform an overwrite edit. The pause is covered by the clip of the audience laughing.
