Perry,
Im with you on that,I use a program called Edius which gives you the option of automaticly rippling back to allow for handles in the timeline. Or you can leave it the way it is it sync or length is a factor. I really hope Premiere adds something like that in the kind of work I do it saves hours. that and being able to add a bunch of dissolves all at once saves ALOT of time too.
