Which function allows you to move segments on the timeline without overwriting any other segment?

Explanation:
The idea being tested is how to place or relocate a clip on the timeline without erasing existing material. The Insert function adds the chosen segment at the playhead position and pushes all downstream clips to the right. This creates space for the new segment while preserving every other segment, so nothing gets overwritten. Lift would remove a segment and leave a gap, Extract removes and closes a gap, and Splice/Extract involves cutting or combining content in ways that can affect surrounding material; Move can relocate a clip but the Insert action is the standard way to add without overwriting by actively creating space.
