Re-open the sequence we want to apply the content warning

Patch V1 to V4 or the top most track of your timeline so the overlay is over all your video tracks.

Suggest a 4 second duration of the length of the warning being displayed

Make sure that you don’t overwrite any existing video and audio

Add a Fade in and out to the overlay

Drag the cross fade to either side of the content warning clip

Play it back and make sure that the viewer can read it twice to make sure the duration is correct and it looks as you would expect.
