<p />
Usually three things happen when you <a class="twikiLink" href="LoadingFile">load a file</a>. 
<ul>
<li> First the existing project is cleared from the screen
</li>
<li> Second the project's attributes are changed to match the file's
</li>
<li> Finally the new file's tracks are created in the timeline.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<strong>Cinelerra</strong> lets <strong>you</strong> change what happens when you load a file.
<img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/insertion_strategy.png" />
<p />
In the file selection window go to the <a class="twikiLink" href="InsertionStrategy">InsertionStrategy</a> box and select any of the following options :
<p />
<h4><a name="Replace_current_project"> </a> Replace current project </h4>
<p />
<ul>
<li> All tracks in the current project are deleted and new tracks are created to match the source. Project attributes are only changed when loading XML. If multiple files are selected it adds new tracks for every file.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<h4><a name="Replace_current_project_and_conc"> </a> Replace current project and concatenate tracks </h4>
<p />
<ul>
<li> Same as replace current project except if multiple files are selected it concatenates the tracks of every file after the first.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<h4><a name="Append_in_new_tracks"> </a> Append in new tracks </h4>
<p />
<ul>
<li> The current project is not deleted and new tracks are created for the source.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<h4><a name="Concatenate_to_existing_tracks"> </a> Concatenate to existing tracks </h4>
<p />
<ul>
<li> The current project is not deleted and new files are concatenated to the existing tracks.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<h4><a name="Paste_at_insertion_point"> </a> Paste at insertion point </h4>
<p />
<ul>
<li> The file is pasted in like a normal paste operation.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<h4><a name="Create_new_resources_only"> </a> Create new resources only </h4>
<p />
<ul>
<li> The timeline is unchanged and new resources are created in the Resource Window.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/starred.gif" border="0" alt="PICK" width="16" height="16" />The <a class="twikiLink" href="InsertionStrategy">InsertionStrategy</a> is a recurring option in many of <strong>Cinelerra's</strong> functions. In each place the options do the same thing. With these options you can almost do all your editing by loading files.
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/tip.gif" border="0" alt="TIP" width="16" height="16" />If you load files by passing command line arguments to <strong>Cinelerra</strong>, the files are loaded with <strong>Replace current project</strong> rules.
