[QuadList] Question for any ex-NBC types out there (Tony Quinn)

[C. Park Seward]

I remember watching Laugh-In and seeing some bad splices "zing" by.

I think the cut had to be within 2 microns to work correctly. The  
video track is 10 microns and the guard band is five so you had to be  
in the middle of the five µm guard band and on the start of the frame  
to get it all to work.

Not for the faint of heart.

Best,
Park
