You can replace only the source to the timeline without removing soft effects from the replaced shot. The soft effects are reapplied to the new source on the timeline.

To perform a source-only replace, the source shot must be as long as the record element being replaced.

To perform a source-only replace edit:

1. Select the new source in the Source Area and view the edit sequence in Record Timeline view.
2. Move the positioner over the element with soft effects you want to replace on the timeline.
3. Press Shift+J or select Replace Source Media from the Replace dropdown list in the Src/Rec Player.

   The new source is replaced on the timeline, and the soft effects are retained. If you selected multiple elements on the timeline, they are all replaced.
