It is normal and painful. I have to edit my video in parts, export them 
and then glue them together. There is nothing more wrong then to quickly 
cut some scenes and then realizing that some scenes you wanted to retain 
were cut because scene index was not updated on time and you had no idea 
what you are editing. That drives me crazy.

Have a nice day.
