[Avid-L2] Re: split edit - L cut

I generally make overlaps with trim mode, but sometimes, when first-cutting, you know exactly what you want to do and option-overwrite is the quickest way to get there.

Of course, all these techniques are part of the picture, and the flexibility is what makes MC so terrific.

The lack of option-overwrite on the PC should be reported as a bug. I would be sad to see it disappear. Some problems never get reported, because everybody thinks somebody else is doing it.
