I remember well the "aha" moment I had back in 1992 when I was jumping from a 1" linear bay to Avid when I finally understood "When you mark an in and an out without moving the timeline indicator, you have a one frame edit... how strange!"
I never cut film. I was a linear guy before Avid and the jump from EDL to timeline was definitely a big brain leap. The other "crazy" idea was that a dissolve didn't HAVE to start at the transition point.
