Here's how I did it:
1. Switch to selection mode
2. Turn on 'Align cursor on frames'
3. Move the replacement track above the track in which you want to replace
4. Move the replacement video until it is aligned with the beats as you need
it. You don't yet need to truncate it to the desired length
5. Select the range that you want to replace.
I.e. the tracks look now roughly like this:
......AA|AAAAAAAAAAAA|AAAA...... <- replacement
BBBBBBBB|BBBBBBBBBBBB|BBBBBBBBBB <- to be replaced
mmMmmmmm|MmmmmmMmmmmm|MmmmmmMmmm <- music with beats
|< selected >|
In order to achieve this arrangement you will have armed only the (upper)
replacement track because you had to align it with the music.
6. Use Edit->Copy (c). This copies the replacement to the clipboard
7. Disarm the replacement track.
8. Arm the track to be replaced.
9. Use Edit->Paste (v).
Goal achieved.
* Note that you must not destroy the selection in steps 6-9.
* Steps 7 and 8 are a single keypress: Hover the mouse over the track
to be replaced and hit Shift-Tab.
Good luck!
