On the primary video track you can edit in insert or overwrite mode (Pinnacle Studio only provided insert), and on all other tracks, clips are automatically “anchored” to the clip they start above in the primary track.

Insert/Overwrite Editing and Anchored Clips There is no rendering required to preview any changes on any tracks. You can add videos, photos and titles to each track independently, and you can add transitions between clips on every layer. With LumaFusion, you have 3 full video tracks that are completely flexible. This second ‘layer’ was limited to overlaying a single clip, and had to be rendered before it could be fully previewed. Pinnacle Studio had a single video track, and provided a limited way to layer a second photo, video or title. Let’s start with the most obvious difference, true multi-track editing. While it’s focused on differences to Pinnacle Studio, most of these features can’t be found in any other editor on iOS.
