Timeline being used for clip storage
We’ve got some interns editing on our PPro CC machine, and I’m noticing across the board a “technique”, where they’ll have the sequence built, then further down the timeline they’ll line up loads of clips, ostensibly as a holding area for possible future clip candidates, or whatever. The actual program may be 4 minutes, but the extra stuff down the timeline stretches the entire sequence to 20-30 minutes. I’ve yet to discuss this with them, as I’m fairly certain they were taught this way, but my gut tells me this is technically a poor way to edit, but I can’t figure out how to explain it.

A ruler across the knuckles?
Kidding, I sometime will drop a clip or 5 down past the end for temp holding/storage. Or sometimes in a work area sequence.
Is there real harm in this?

I guess that’s what I’m really asking. Is it more of a drag on resources to have 20 extra minutes of clips on a timeline?
