As an editing professional lurking on this list, this 1 track/2 track
transition is one part of the design that interests me. My vote goes to
single track design for much the same reason that artur is pointing out
here.
Both avid and fcp have adopted it and the Premiere used to have 2 track
transitions but I believe has moved away from that.
On avid, it's even possible to collapse 2 layers in a single layer and ad a
transition to the newly formed layer. By double clicking the collapsed
piece, the orignal 2 get revealed. But this is probably a next stage thing.
