Clear so far.

Other pre-assembled shots. What are those? An extract of the whole 
timeline (maybe excluding sound)? Just one video?

The reason why I'm not convinced yet is Copy/Paste. You update the

unnecessary work which I want to avoid as far as possible.
So I hope we can find a better method that ideally could also be used 
for different use cases :)
