Breaking a long clip into 'sub-clips'

So, I have a long clip that I've imported from, say a single long shot at an event. I want to break that clip up into what used to be subclips. I want to be able to treat those subclips as if they were clips - I want to be able to give them names, organize them in folders and I want to be able to drag them onto the timeline.
My question is, how does Apple think we should be doing this? The way that I see recommended around the web is:
Select your 'master' clip.
Set In and Out points.
Bring up the keyword editor.
Enter a new keyword for that 'subclip'
Doing this allows you to organize each 'subclip' by the keyword that's assigned to it and, by 'expanding' the master clip in the clip window, you can see the subclips/keywords in that master clip and you can drag them onto the timeline.
There are big issues with this, however.
There is no easy way to organize these subclips. Lets say I make 40 subclips (keywords) from a master clip. I then organize them into folders, 20 per folder, according to how I want them grouped. When I select a folder, I see a list of 20 clips - all named the same ... they are all named after the master clip! I have no way of telling which clip is which without individully exanding each clip! I could go back to the actual master clip by looking at it under the Event and exanding the master clip to see the list of all the 'keywords' - but then I have no way of orgainizing them - they're all just under that master clip.
What I want is not a 'keyword' - which is essentially a reusable identifier, used in this work-around as a single-use identfier - but a way of making parts of a master clip funtionally equivalent to the original master clip. Just because I shot some things in one take - especially with event videography - that doesn't mean I want them grouped together for editing. As far as I can see, there is no way to dissociate these subclips from the original master clip for the purposes of working with them.
This is basic functionality ... so am I missing something? What is the non-workaround way of doing this?
Here is another explanation of the issue by a kindly blogger:

Well, the difference is you can't do anything, like drag to the timeline or scrub, with the names in the library pane, only in the clips pane.
But you're right, that does suggest an improvement over using the folder to reveal the (sub)clips in the clip pane. I could drag the library pane as wide as possible so I can see as much of the 'subclip names'/'keyword collection names' as possible. Then expand the folder I want in the library pane, revealing those names. Then I click on the subclip/keyword I want, which reveals the (sub)clip in the clips pane. I can then drag it to the timeline or scrub it etc there. That's probably also an improvement over expanding the master clip in the clips pane, though still a right hacky pain.
I really don't think that being able to create subclips is an either/or with keywords. They fullfill different needs. Keywords do what they do well, but we still need the ability to create subclips, both from a logical workflow point of view and from a practical point of view, given how inconvenient this hack with keywords is. It should be 5 step process ...
1. You shoot your video, stopping and starting how it suits you at the during the shoot.
2. You import the video.
3. You break it up into clips for editing convenience.
4. You label and group and fine tune those clips with the keywording system.
5. You edit.
The ability to non-hackily do Step 3 is missing in Final Cut Pro X, it seems.

How To Automatically Split A Large Clip Into Smaller Clips

I captured several one-hour tapes with an older version of Windows Movie Maker.
They are AVI files.
I'd like to work with the footage when I purchase Premiere Pro CS5.5 or CS6.
Each tape is composed of several starts and stops of the record button, so lots of individual clips inside of the hour-long captured footage.
In Premiere Pro CS 5.5, is there a way to automatically split a large clip into smaller clips at the points where I started and stopped the camera?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Flyingfish,
I cannot tell you that.
Historically, with "consumer" CODEC's, PrE often gets native support, before PrPro.
However, with "professional" CODEC's, such as RED, PrPro has those, but PrE will likely never get them. There are some pro CODEC's, that PrPro does have, that PrE is missing, but I do not have a list.
Good luck, and wish that I had more info for you.

How do you cut an imovie clip into two clips?

How do you cut an imovie clip into two clips? I have a very long clip from which I want to remove the middle (and keep the beginnin and end).

There are several ways to do this. Here are a couple.
1) Drag the long clip into your project. Drag to select the portion you want to remove. Then right-click/Split Clip. This will give you three clips, the first, the last, and the one in the middle that you want to delete. You can select the middle clip and right-click/Delete Selection.
2) Drag the long clip into your project. Drag to select the frames you want to delete. Then right-click/Delete Selection.

Need to split long movie into many clips to edit video

I upgraded to iMovie 11 from iMovie HD 6...it was a long wait to get audio and video editing that was at least as good as HD 6. We had some 40 year old Super 8 movies digitized and used HD 6 to split them into clips so I could edit parts that were almost black, or some almost totally blown out. I realized that this could probably be done better with 11, so purchased it, but couldn't import the HD 6 clips. Was told I had to export the whole movie as a single clip, then import into 11 and break them apart again to edit.
While I was proficient in HD 6 enough to produce some good stuff, iMovie 11 is befuddling to me, which is a surprise since I do fine with the latest iPhoto, which uses similar terms and processes. I have ordered David Pogue's book; while waiting for it to arrive, my main question is: how do I split this 75 minute movie into multiple clips for editing purposes? Apparently splitting can only be done in the project library, and apparently 11 will only let you split into 2 or 3 clips???
Thanks for any help.

First, you may not need to spit the event clips at all. You can select short bits of the long event clip and drag it into your project as you wish.
Having said that, there are good reasons to split event clips. For example, the 75 minute movie may contain many logical events that you wish to split out by date. In this case, iMovie 11 can do it, but I would not recommend it. It is a slow process and is prone to error.
I would recomment that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared Five (google it).
To use MPEG Streamclip, drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then, FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME (or FILE/EXPORT TO DV if it is DV). Then repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
When finished splitting your long clip, import into iMovie by using FILE/IMPORT...MOVIE

Breaking 1 clip into many clips

My project (over 1 hour long) consists of many 40-year-old super 8 movies. Half were digitized into a proprietary Sony format, which had to be converted to a format iMovie 6 HD could use; half were already in an iMovie HD6 project. They were then combined into one file in iMovie HD 6, and exported in .dv format for use in iMovie 11. However, iMovie 11 imported almost one hunded clips as one clip. I now need to break it into lots of clips so I can edit very dark spots, blown out spots, and bad color, and add music. iMovie 11 help says I can break 1 clip into only 2 or 3 clips. Help please!
Thanks in advance for any solutions.

I would recommend that you break apart the big DV clip using MPEG Streamclip.
Here are the details.
Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
Start MPEG Streamclip
In iMovie, Right-click on your long event clip and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
A Finder Window will appear. Drag the highlighted clip to MPEG Streamclip.
If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
You can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o.
IN MPEG Streamclip, Use FILE/EXPORT to DV
Optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month. hh is hours in 24 hour time.
Save the resulting files in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
Go back to MPEG Streamclip, and set the in and out points for your second clip and go through the steps again.
Continue until you have created all your clips.
In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/Movies... and choose the files you saved above.
iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Editing long clips into short clips and naming them differently

I've got a long clip that I'm trying to break up into lots of shorter clips and give different names to. So I loaded the clip into the timeline, press Control-V where I want to cut, and then drag that clip back into the Browser. But every time I drag a new one to the Browser and rename it, the names of the other clips change to be the same as the just-named clip.
What am I doing wrong? What's the easiest way to do what I'm trying to do?
TIA

RE: timecode when capturing.
Timecode is always captured (DV in this case) as long as you do not use 'non-controllable device' as the capture protocol. When you use 'non-controllable device' no timecode is delivered even if it did exist on the tape.
Put another way, if there is TC on the tape, Capture Now will bring it in as long as you have 'Firewire' or 'Firewire Basic' (whichever is appropriate for your capture device) selected.
There is one other way to capture full tapes and still get individual editable clips (and I HATE subclips ...). Squarebox makes a simple app called Live Capture Plus that will capture a complete tape in one pass then break the resulting large file into individual clips based on start/stop detection. It works quite handily and will allow you save your drive mechanism if you are using your camera as a deck (and Canons are not known for robust tape subsystems). If you combine LCP with CatDV you have a robust cataloging system as well.
Good luck.

FCP is adding clips into existing clips on the sequence?!

This is a bizarre thing that has just been occurring since the latest update. While looking over unrendered scenes I noticed little chunks of blue (rendered) bar. Keep in mind that this is a one clip scene and there is absolutely no other video clip on the timeline. I scrub through and there is a random (or not so random, but I'll get to that) part or another clip from a completely other scene added into the clip. If you remove the clip, it is no longer there, so it has definitely embedded itself onto the clip. If you go back to the source video and look through it it is clean. So you drag the in/out selected point back onto the timeline and the phantom clip is there again.
I had found a solution though, by removing the clip and therefore emptying the timeline I would save the project and quit FCP. Upon reopening FCP and reinserting the clip it would be 'clean'. But on revisiting the project this morning I have found the phantom clip has found its way back into the sequence. One difference I have noticed is that is has been placed a few seconds earlier than it was before.
On a bizarre note, the phantom clips spookily have a fitting context to the clips it haunts.
has anyone else experienced this? And do you have a reasoning why it occurs and a permanent solution to fixing/preventing it?

The project file may be corrupted. Try opening a new project and importing the files there to see if the problem persists.

Can I merge sequential video clips into one clip on import?

I have 3 JVC GY-HM750U cameras and they a recording into approx 10 min clips if you record for long durations.
So if I record for 30 minutes I would have 3 consecutive clips. Usually this isn't that big of a deal but when we have 3 cameras running and we want to edit using multicam or multiclip editing it is kind of a pain when each angle is broken up into pieces.

That's an interesting POV because my experience is that FCP handles intermittent recording breaks extremely well – as long as the camera is correctly identified.

Grouping synced audio + video clips into one clip?

I've been asked to edit some footage together that was shot by some other people. They recorded the audio separate from the video on a Marantz device, but they used a clapboard to mark everything so it shouldn't be too much of a problem to sync the audio files with the video files.
I can do that in the timeline, but I'd like to know if I can take multiple audio files and sync them with the one large video stream and have them treated as one single clip so I can easily cut them and put them in the timeline as usual?

Just put them all in to a timeline and when you have them synced properly export the timeline as a reference or self-contained quicktime and re-import that file.

GarageBand 2013 did not split a clip into separate clips.

I moved my playhead to the exact location that I wanted the first clip to end at and the second clip to begin at. I then clicked on Edit, then "Split Regions at Playhead." However, GarageBand did not split the clip.
Please tell me what else I need to do.
Thanks!
Montana B.

Montana,
did you select the region you want to split? It does not suffice to select the track, the region in the track needs to be highlighted. You can tell if the region is selected, by the lighter upper border, where the name of the region is. In the example below, the region in the middle is selected, the other regions not.

Long-form workflow best practice? (sub clips)

I am struggling with the new media management and organizational challenges of FCP X.
Am I the only person in the FCP community who used sub clips? In all the extensive belly aching about the new FCP, I've yet to see anyone list the death of subclips as a dealbreaker.
This leaves me to believe that even in the pre-FCP X world people used a different (better) workflow than the one I used for over a decade.
Tom Wolsky tells me that I'm trying to force the new software to work like the old... Maybe, but I think it's reasonable to expect that an "upgrade" means that the new version of a software will have all the functionality of the software it's replacing with new capabilities added.... What we have, however, are lots of new (and admittedly) very desirable new capabilities with (infuriatingly) many of the capabilities most of us thought were crucial to our editing approaches stripped entirely. Of course there's the promise that "some" of these capabilities will return at some future, unspecified date.
Enough of my mini-rant, here's the question....
If I shoot 22 hours of raw footage and hope to mine 90 minutes for the final cut, which has approximately 45 scenes, how should I use these radical new organization features to be able to easily locate my clips?
In the old way, I'd get my Sony PMW-EX3 clips into FCP (not intuitive--another question, when will FCP accept the native SxS files?), then look at each of those master clips and cut those clips into sub clips.
Each subclip would have a unqiue name. And I would create a series of folders for the subclips. Very clean, very organized and when I need a cutaway shot of the dog barking in scene 22, I look at folder 22, open it and there it is... "Dog Barking."
The new FCP X uses Favorites or Keywords... both approaches inferior (in my opinion) to my old workflow... So what am I missing? How is the new way better? Was there a better way before that I was just missing???
And now I'm getting the whiff of an even bigger problem... I haven't encountered it myself but others are finding that once a project exceeds twelve minutes, things become terribly unstable.
Oh, well. Growing pains, I suppose. And people are correct, I can just use FCP 7... but I had such hopes... such hopes....

Yes, I know FCP X is an upgrade in name only. That's part of Apple's PR headache over this whole debacle. When people launch a program and 10.0 Final Cut Pro X stares them in the face, they are justified to expect that it's a true update (upgrade) of Final Cut Pro. And with Apple overselling the product.... oh, well, it is what it is.
Most of us would have been happy with Final Cut Pro 8, a true 64 bit upgrade of the program that was working for us.
Yes, Favorites and Keywords are similar to Subclips but they are still so tied to the Master Clip.. If I Favorite 10 clips and sort by favorites, I get the Master Clips and have to hit the triangle beside them to see the Favorites. Even if all 10 Favorites are from the same Master Clip, I get ten redundant lines I have to wade through....
The old way was better... One bin with ten uniquely named subclips. Clear and clean....
The new program does not seem informed by anyone who ever made a movie longer than five minutes... and evidently (from all reviews) it wasn't influenced by anyone who considers himself a professional editor. (I do not consider myself a professional editor, just an independent movie maker who writes, directs, acts, edits, etc., and who happily used Final Cut Pro for over a decade.)
I'm hanging around for FCP X 10.1... I've never seen Apple so mishandle a situation... On a much smaller scale, it's Apple's Vista moment....
Thanks for responding...

Can no longer pull clip into timeline from Viewer??

I no longer have the ability to drag a clip, or sub clip if I've chosen in and out points, into the timeline from the Viewer.
When I attempt to do this the clip moves as if I'm repositioning the clip within the Viewer window, but does not move to the timeline.....thoughts??
Thnx,

How to Turn Long DV video into Smaller Clips to Edit

Hi everyone, I've googled and fiddled around for hours trying to figure out how to splice up my rather long DV file (converted over from a home wedding DVD) to begin editting. I've tried creating markers and then subclipping - but that doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens. Is there an easy way to do this?
How I've been doing it:
Create new project. Then import the DV file. There appears in the browser the 'sequence1' and then the DV file. I grab it into the viewer and then drag it also into the timeline. However, I get a red bar, so I render it. After this, the the canvas displays the timeline video but the viewer video is completely separate. They still play the same DV but not simultaneously. I don't know how to go about clipping this large file so that I can edit each scene separately. How do I splice this long segment into smaller clips that show up in my browser for editting?
Thank you so much for your help!!

Well... I'd suggest you either reconvert that file to a dv codec .mov file, or start again with the dvd file conversion.
You've got to forget everything you knew about imovie. FCP and imovie are built on completely different paradigms. Final cut is a non-destructive editor. No matter WHAT you do in FCP, the actual media clip remains unchanged, just like your father's face a week after you tell him you wrecked the family car.
After you've got your correct .mov file, import it into fcp. Open it in the viewer. Play down until you find the first part you want to use. Press "I" for an in point, play down until you want it to end, then press "O" for out. Then press command U, or go to the modify menu and select Make Subclip.
You'll get a little jagged media icon in your browser window. It makes good sense to name it something more than what fcp names it., so you'll be able to find it again.
I personally don't like to work with subclips. Usually I'll capture in logical chunks. But you can't do that with your one long file. What I do instead of subclipping is to add my select shots into a sequence. Then I'll duplicate the sequence and start working with that- rearranging, deleting etc, until I'm happy.
Hope this is useful.

Seperate video into multiple clips

So, I have a bunch of interviews that I imported in one large batch from my video camera. However, I want to seperate each interview into its own clip. How do I go about cutting the video into seperate clips?

FCP does not automatically break long captures into individual clip files. With DV media, it will do a thing called 'sub clipping'. These are pointers to a section of the larger clip that allow you to treat each element like an individual clip. This works ok except when you want to: a) work with variable speed time remaps and b) delete unused clips to archive the project.
If you want individual clip files you have two reasonable options.
1. Log each clip then do a batch capture to bring in individual files
2. Use a 3rd party application (eg CatDV) to break up the clips into individual editable files. This can happen at capture or at a later time.
Have fun.
