I guess because I grew up at KABC cutting 3 to 6 minute stories on 2) 3/4 BVU 800's and later 2) BVU 820s to one inch record with as much sizzle as I could muster with one channel of ADO and a 2 me 300 switcher JFK just seemed like par for the course. And in those days you sat with the field producer/director. All the flash cuts can be easier than it looks. You just A B roll two sources and trick the cmx into switcher toggle mode for the edit or recursive emems. All though the best trick when you needed a break was to lay down the A shot of the flutter cut and then create an auto assembly list with Record Off of a bunch of one or two frame edits and then take a break for the auto assembly happened. Funny having little time cutting film that seems like the most labor intensive and slow process compared to my linear bay. Pick your poison you don't miss what you don't know.

Editors who started on film don't generally have this problem, but ones who are newer think that the more cuts the better. Kind of like the guitar players who think the more notes they cram in the better. It's not the notes you play, it's the ones you don't!
