Re: Editing scenario

[Carsten Orlt] "The short version is that for me it clicked with X is when I noticed that X basically uses something that 7 (and before) was using all the time: "

Trust me. I completely understand the concept.

[Carsten Orlt] "So I would edit the main soundbites from your talents on the primary, put cut aways in connected and have music and sound effects in connected as well."

In this case, IMHO that's actually the design that works least best. Either B-roll AND A/V clips on the Primary as Andy suggested or using Jim's "trax" template are the two methods that seem the easiest to make the various changes without getting tied up into knots.

[Carsten Orlt] "In X you just insert a gab clip on the primary and extend this clip. everything including all connected elements move with it. No need for track forward. "

Which is how it's been done in the Avid world for years.
