This is all an edge case, so low priority, but I do want to keep it on
the todo list.

Post editing does happen, but not for most/all of the time.  I have
spent time bluring out a phone number, or removing 5 min of dead air
when a preventer's laptop dies.  It sucks, but for the times when
things are really broken, it is nice to be able to fix them.

veyepar editing scales enough.  What will help is to be able to move
some of the post production work into talk time - if the "start cut"
is good, one more click in the UI so instead of marking a time on
paper and using that to click a veyepar UI.   If the operator is
confidant in the start/end cuts, encoding/uploading could begin as
soon as the talk is over.   This is really the same data flow so would
not reduce video production quality at all.
