I agree with this.
What I’ve found is that the bar is much higher for my editing work because of this. In my workflow I do certain ‘tasks’ first and then follow with other tasks. To deal with the single-clip issue I end up consolidating events into a longer single file to be treated in RX. Of course when this is done I’m locking myself into a corner, especially when sending it back to Nuendo. So the only real solution is to make better choices before then.
So the biggest problem for me is really when things that are outside of my control change. If there are re-edits that need to be conformed, possibly with new content, it is always easier to have access to all the previous edits in a non-destructed workflow. Clearly here that doesn’t apply as easily. So to me the most important thing is to adapt my workflow to deal with this.
