The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I need a roll edit to adjust a cut point between two interview takes. On "Natasha Interview - Rough" perform a roll edit at the cut between Clip A and Clip B on V1 to move the out point of A two seconds earlier and the in point of B two seconds earlier, keeping overall sequence duration the same. Check crossfades and audio continuity after the move.

Before I roll the edit between two takes, surface the risks a reviewer will flag.

I rolled an edit and now there's a tiny vocal overlap that sounds odd.

I rolled the cut between two interview takes to tighten pacing, but now there's a short double-word overlap and a small continuity pop in the room tone. I can't hear whether a crossfade or a different cut point is less intrusive. What's the most reliable quick fix that preserves natural rhythm without adding noticeable audio artifacts?

Small roll tweaks keep causing continuity problems late in the schedule.

Across projects I make small roll edits to tighten dialogue, and each time I end up chasing subtle audio glitches or mismatched gestures, costing late-night fixes. What editing habit or tiny checklist item can I use before rolling an edit to avoid those problems?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
