[Charlie Austin] “I can’t speak to film or long form editing, as that’s not my bag, but doing what I do is first sculpting…making selects from a larger whole… then bricklaying… get all the chunks in place… then sculpt it all down into it’s final shape. “
We both work in the same field a lot of the time so it’s always interesting to compare notes.
The method that I use, and which most of the editors I have shared it with down the years have adopted once they’ve been shown how it works, actually more or less entirely bypasses the brick-making/brick-laying phase(s) as it is conventionally understood.
I won’t bore this forum with it but it does actually work, both from an efficiency point of view and a creative one.

[Oliver Peters] “I think to call it subtractive isn’t necessarily the best way to look at is.”
Is your finished edit a) the sum total of all the bits you have chosen to put in it; or b) the result of removing all the bits you don’t want in it?

Hi Tim
It looks as though you have indeed sorted it out – no notifications for a few days now.
Many thanks 🙂

[Walter Soyka] “I don’t think it’s fair to say that Adobe is “disinterested in serious product workflow innovation that could provide more editorial speed to their customers.””
Maybe Bill really did mean “disinterested” and not “uninterested” which is what you have taken him to mean.

[Bill Davis] “Hanging strips of celluloid above the Steenbeck is charming when the edit bay is 10×10 or even 20×20. Not sure it’s as charming when you need a room 1000′ x 1000′ square – just to hold all the clips.”
Not actually how it worked.

It’s worth installing this week’s update which is meant to have addressed this issue:
Today we’re releasing an update for Premiere Pro CC 2017. The 11.1.1 update contains two important bug fixes, and is highly recommended for all users.
You can install the update through the Creative Cloud desktop application, or you can check for new updates from within any Creative Cloud application by choosing Help > Updates. Please note that it can take 24 hours or more for all of our global data centers to receive the update. If the update isn’t available for you right now, please check back later.
The 11.1.1 bug-fix update for Premiere Pro addresses an issue with the recently introduced feature to clear the Media Cache Folder automatically after 90 days.
The update changes the behavior of the media cache deletion. With 11.1.1, only files that are within the Media Cache folder’s subdirectories will be deleted. Files that sit next to it will no longer be affected. However, we still strongly recommend keeping the Media Cache folder separate from your original media.
If you want the cache files to be available for a longer period of time (the default is 90 days), it’s easy to change the preference by going to Premiere Pro CC -> Preferences -> Media Cache.
The second issue addressed with this update is a variation in peak amplitude when normalizing all peaks on audio clips. This no longer results in extreme positive or negative values.

And of course you can over-ride it even more simply by just holding down the alt/opt key as you trim any linked track.

11.1 fixes a serious bug that has caused a lot of problems:
But this is a major update across the board and for that reason it’s a really good idea not to jump in for a while if you can avoid it.
The Title tool has been completely overhauled which is great news in many ways. But one of the things that annoyed me was that you can no longer export legacy titles.
So lots be be wary of – unless you’re feeling very brave.

[John Hudson] ” I am between projects and would love to update my Premiere Pro.”
I’d say hold off on updating unless there’s a feature you really need.

Enable Audio Usage in the Metadata Display and then sort by the Audio Usage column to get all your used clips in once place.
You can then color code them as required.
