I must be missing something here. Why should a bunch of clips

know when I shot a particular scene, and each clip is timestamped so
I can find it easily. I can add notes if I want to. If I re-shoot
something, it's right there for me, and I can simply discard the
wasted shoot.


Assuming that a/. the scenes are separate clips and not just ' in/out
markers',

They are, yes.

What happens if the in / out points aren't correct, do you have to confirm
them pre capture or would you have to re-capture ?


b/. the scenes in and out points are detected correctly

Also correct. The scene starts at the point that I presses record, and
stops when I stopped recording. It's that simple.

Assuming that the only part you require is small section of that scene...


c/. that you know were everything is and

Well you have to review your source material anyway. This was one of your
points against using scene detection.

d/. that you don't place
everything on the time line and then try and edit (which many people
seem to do).

Really? I don't see that many people doing their editing, but that's
obviously a very linear way of editing. Don't know who would do that.


If people haven't done c/. then d/. tends to follow - if you're going to do
c/. then why not log and pre-plan the edit and what you need ?
