What's the most painful part of your editorial workflow?

A public board for editors, assistants, post and VFX folk: the turnover-week pains we all live with, the workarounds, and where someone's finally solved it. No login. Post a pain, add what you do, upvote what hurts.

One rule: no show titles, client or vendor names. Describe the pain, not the project. (It protects you, and posts with names get held for review.)
