How to do a cut-scene? (Paste Over)

Question

How do I overlay a scene on the video in the project with the sound from the existing clip remaining intact?
For example. I have a clip of a school choir. I want to insert a clip of the audience but I want the original school choir clips sound during that scene.
I believe that it was called "paste over in the old version.

YES -- it does work:
1) In the Project, drag right from the Head (beginning) of clip (A) to the point where the Insert will START.
2) Split Clip. Now you'll have 2 clips where there was one: A1 and A2.
3) In the Project, drag left from the Tail (end) of clip (A) to the point where the Insert will STOP.
4) Split Clip. Now you'll have 3 clips where there was one: A1, A2, and A3.
5) Note how long clip A2 is (use TC).
6) Trim the Head of Insert clip (B) to its exact START point. Leave the clip longer than the A2 clip!
7) Select Clip B.
8) Drag the Insert clip (B) into the point between the A2 and A3 clip.
9) Select clip A2.
10) SHIFT+APPLE drag the A2 clip's audio to Insert clip (B).
11) Delete clip A2.
12) Turn the Insert's clip (B) audio to zero.
13) Drag the audio (green) clip fully left to the Head of clip B.
14) Drag the Tail of the audio (green) clip fully right.
15) Drag the Tail of clip B right until it is as long as the audio (green) clip.
Note there is a second type of Insert Edit called a BACKTIMED INSERT:
1) In the Project, drag right from the Head (beginning) of clip (A) to the point where the Insert will START.
2) Split Clip. Now you'll have 2 clips where there was one: A1 and A2.
3) In the Project, drag left from the Tail (end) of clip (A) to the point where the Insert will STOP.
4) Split Clip. Now you'll have 3 clips where there was one: A1, A2, and A3.
5) Note how long clip A2 is (use TC).
6) Trim the Tail of Insert clip (B) to its exact END point. Leave the clip longer than the A2 clip!
7) Select Clip B.
8) Drag the Insert clip (B) into the point between the A2 and A3 clip.
9) Select clip A2.
10) SHIFT+APPLE drag the A2 clip's audio to Insert clip (B).
11) Delete clip A2.
12) Turn the Insert's clip (B) audio to zero.
13) Drag the audio (green) clip fully left to the Head of clip B.
14) Drag the Tail of the audio (green) clip fully right.
15) Drag the audio (green) clip fully right to the Tail of clip B.
16) Drag the Head of clip B right until it is as long as the audio (green) clip.
These two types of inserts are 3-point Inserts where two of the points are in the Project. There are two other types of 3-point Inserts where there is only one point in the Project. And, there is 4-point Insert which 08 cannot do.
