Easily done... Leave the original tracks intact, add
the picture of the cutaway shots to V2, silence or delete
the associated audio tracks. Or just use 1A-1B track
editing, keeping the original picture on the
B track and cutaway picture on the A track, silencing
or deleting the cutaway audio tracks. Either way permits
cross-dissolves in addition to straight cuts, but the
second also permits the use of other kinds of transitions.
