Dede Allen - pioneering film editor who invented "pre-lapping"


"She was the first editor to receive a solo title card in the opening credits to a film, for Bonnie and Clyde (1967)..."

"Dede was the first to obtain "points" for the film editor in profit distribution..."

"She pioneered the "L cut," also known as pre-lapping, which is when the dialog of the incoming scene begins before the picture transitions into that scene."
