Better not tell all the people who have been doing it for years, nay decades. Jeff - spend a bit of time figuring out how the track arming works. you can arm only the video track and play about with that while the audio stays the same. That way you can just play out the A roll with the interviewee while you drop in bits of the B roll. In general you don't want to cut from B to A exactly on questions, because it just looks shit. Instead, you should cut back to the interviewer occasionally (noddy shots), cut during the question or if it's a short question leave the shot on the interviewee. Play with it and see what works for you, but don't forget to watch a lot - a *lot* - of interviews to see how they work! I found it's easiest if you've got the audio from both mikes on one camera but if you didn't shoot that way, don't worry about it. If you're using a single camera, try and find a reference point for the interviewee's eyeline - that way you can shoot the noddy shots with another member of the crew or a lighting stand with a bit of tape or something standing in for your interviewee.
