But John, isn't that a function of at what point you decided you need to "break apart" things?

It's a choice, not a requirement that you decide to break apart clips. And when.

You can do it early, and deal with sync issues, or you can hold off, largely rough-in and even fine tune your visuals, then break apart and tweak your audio after your video is largely locked.

That's pretty much the point of the "picture lock" tradition in movie-making isn't it? To establish a visual core that you work your audio around, rather than just splitting and moving everything section by section?

I agree it would be nice to be able to do every-thing, every-way someone might like to do it - and have the program allow the visual to be primary or the audio to be primary in some contextual fashion - but in practical terms, it's kind of odd to ask the program to both keep everything in sync, if you're overtly telling the program you want to override that same sync at the same time?

X is "vertical relationship" based. Legacy was horizontal relationship based.

Both make tremendous sense, but they certainly require different thinking.

Just thinking out loud here.
