Trimming subclips ...

Let's say you make a subclip and then wish to lengthen subclip on either side (where there is room on the original source video) like you can do with a regular video clip asset.  It appears that is not possible with in/out markers in the source monitor or trim brackets in the timeline.  Correct?
I am able to use the right-click Edit Subclip ... menu item for subclips in the project window (or displayed on the source monitor) which pops-up a window I can manually enter new start and end times.  Once I've done so I am able to extend a subclip on the timeline out to new start/stop times if increased, but no more.
Am I correct above?   I was really hoping to trim subclips like other video clip assets.   I've been using a workaround where I open the source video clip, drag it to the project window which creates a new instance with the same name, rename the new instance, then open and trim in the source monitor (or drag to the timeline).  Let me know if you have a better workflow assuming I am correct above.
Thanks,
Jon

I was really hoping to trim subclips like other video clip assets.
This feature broke in Premiere Pro 2.0 and as far as I know, was never corrected.

  • Premiere to After Effects Composition workflow with Subclips?

    I have a bunch of  footage, each about 1 minute-long, that I'm cutting in Premier into a collection of 3-second highlight shots. What I want to do is take some of those 3 second clips and add a couple of effects in AE.
    Problem #1:
    When I select the trimmed shot in Premiere and select "Replace with After Effects Composition", all I get is a blank composition that is 1 minute long (not 3 seconds like how I trimmed it in the Premiere sequence editor).
    Problem #2:
    What I did to resolve the issue above is select the trimmed clip, then created a Subclip of it. Then when I selected "Replace with After Effects Composition" it then created a blank composition in AE that was 3 seconds long.
    Ok fine, but that still doesn't resolve the blank AE composition. It will be super tedious to import each of the 1-minute footage files into AE and then re-find the 3 second section I already set in Premiere. Am I missing a step somewhere? How do I get After Effects to import that subclip automatically into the library? I tried to export the subclip from Premiere but couldn't find that option.
    Is there a better workflow for what I'm trying to do?
    Thanks!

    I'm using DSLR footage and am not running into this issue.  However, another workaround you could do is, copy the trimmed/subcliped clip and paste it into AE.  To get a sequence in AE to conform to the durration of the copied clip, use otp+command+v.  I use this in replace of dynamic link, and works quite well.  Hope that helps.

  • Premiere links to After Effects composition broken after software update

    I have a PP project with a dynamic link to a comp in an AE project. After updating to the latest version of Creative Cloud, I open the Premiere Pro project file. It says I must update/convert the file to be compatible with the new CC. I do so. However, when opening the file, the dynamic links point to the AE project (which also needs to be updated/converted and given a new file name). After converting the AE project, I need PP to link TO the newly converted AE project, but can't seem to figure out how to do this.
    I have several comps in the AE file and it would be quite troublesome to have to re-import (re-link) all the comps and place them in the appropriate timeline sequences in Premiere.
    PS. This isn't the first time this has happened. But a year ago or so when updating the Adobe suite, I had a similar thing happen.

  • Any way to take a subclip & generate a new original file of subclip's length without recapturing?

    When I CAPTURE a large length of footage (say 30 mins) and then I import this footage into my Pr Pro CS 5 Project, I will typically extract a section of that footage into the timeline using the Source Monitor.  I will throughout an edit end up using multiple portions (subclips) of this original footage.  Sometimes I will make specific subliclips, sometimes I will just use different instances in the timeline of different lengths.
    What I would like to be able to easily do is to then create a new original file for each edited clip so that each piece is not referencing the same full portion of the originally captured footage.  I am trying to create smaller files that are referenced.
    In other words, I guess you could say that I am looking for a way to "capture" in reverse?  Rather than having to go back and recapture just that portion that is now edited as a subclip, is there any way to do this easily in reverse? 
    It would be ideal if there was a command that took your subclip and simply created a new original file that was now simply the length of your final edited clip or piece in the time line.
    I am trying to reduce the size of the original file having to be referenced by Premiere Pro each time to speed up the editing process, but without having to go back and redo the capturing process.

    You didn't indicate what sort of footage you're working with, but depending on what it is, you could use the Project Manager to create trimmed clips and a new project file that references those trimmed clips. You could then delete the original media after confirming that what you wanted has actually happened.
    Go to Project > Project Manager, select your relevant sequences, and the Create New Trimmed Project option. You want to tick the Exclude Unused Clips option, and set the Handles option as you'd like; this controls how much media is available before the in point and after the out point of each clip. When you've set your options you can click the Calculate button to get a rough idea of how much storage space you'll be saving. Pick your destination and let the process work.
    Note that this will only work with certain types of media; for example, MPEG-based assets will just be copied as they cannot be cleanly trimmed due to their interframe nature. Read Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 * Archiving and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 * Trim or copy your project for more details.

  • Using BATCH-EXPORT on subclips vs MM to create independent media files

    I've been capturing full HDV tapes with the DV Start/Stop Detection turned on and everything has worked just fine - until now. I'm now encountering a problem w FCP "Searching for Media" on roughly 25% of my clips DURING capture, and in the process, losing about 5 seconds at the start of the clip. I've been having lots of problems w my G5 over the last couple months and it's been acting quite slow and I imagine this is related to that.
    So... after a full 2 days trying to get Media Manager to create independent media files from my subclips (after capturing a twenty minute chunk whole, then breaking it down), following the FCP manual volume II pg 42 to a tee... I concur w many others on this site that Media Manager *****! No matter what I did, it would not produce new files out of my subclips and instead kept giving me the same error: "Reconnect Media Failed. The clip such-and-such was unable to be reconnected to the trimmed file due to a mismatch of the media present in the file... yada yada." Yes, I shortened the end of the first subclip by a couple frames, and I also had another subclip to delete, and I tried going straight from the bin, then from the timeline, then after making all clips independent in the timeline... nothing!
    Then I discovered BATCH EXPORT.
    Using it, I exported my HDV subclips using Quicktime Movie, Self-Contained, HDV 30, audio and video. It processed 20 minutes of subclips in just a few minutes so I'm fairly confident that no real 'processing' occurred.
    Can someone verify for me though that this is a safe procedure and that I am not re-processing HDV files with more HDV nonsense? Before continuing, I would just like to know for sure that Batch Export produces exactly the same result with subclips then if I were to simply capture one clip at a time.
    Thanks a bunch,
    Chris

    I can confirm that it does not merge audio tracks. Track 1 and 2 remain the same. In fact everything appears as it would if I were to capture direct, I just want someone who knows better to validate this!
    Also, has anyone else experienced the slowdown during log & capture that I described, with the intermittent message "searching for media"?

  • Hoverscrub in Bridge for video subclip management

    I have a library of hundreds of subclips which I use regularly to create mood videos for clients, but finding a useful way to collate and organise them has been difficult, as I want to be able to assign multiple tags for each video. For example, a video may contain a girl framed in a close up shot, holding a camera, smiling, in black and white, shot at 60 fps. Keeping all this data easily accesible to sort through is difficult. Bridge is probably the obvious choice for this due to its ability for metatagging, but I find the Premiere environment much easier because of the hoverscrub feature and the ease of dropping it into a rough sequence. Hoverscrub in Premiere makes previewing videos effortless - Bridge's preview window is a little more difficult to use.
    I guess the ideal workflow would be to be able to either save metadata to subclips when you export them in Premiere and have the ability to search through metadata filters in the Media Browser of exported clips, or for Bridge to adopt Hoverscrub. I've explored Prelude, but it is really only useful for ingesting footage and roughing a sequence for refinement in Premiere, rather than subclipping and tagging with metadata.
    Is anyone else in the same predicament as me? How are other users dealing with organising their subclips?

    Looked at the clip for hoverscrub and read further explanation.  It looks like an interesting way to view video.  But think you are correct when you said Bridge is a photo browser, as it was made to reflect needs of Photoshop.  While video has been grudgenly added  to Bridge and Photoshop, in my opinion, it will always be a token effort.  There is something to be said for not going to the universal program that does it all.  It usually does not do anything real well.
    It appears you can add keywords in PP and view them in Bridge.  Here is a copy of a blog to explain how.
    The short answer is:
    In your Preferences > Media Preferences
    choose the checkbox for
    "Enable Clip And XMP Metadata Linking Check this box to link clip metadata to XMP metadata, so that changing one changes the other."
    This is from:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSAB1EDD0E-ADC2-4a10-B399-...
    Not able to test this now....but you might need to put your keywords in to fields that are common to both XMP data and PPro Project data.
    Remember there is some distinction about a FILE that lives in the file system versus how that file is used as a CLIP inside a PPro project. (for example having multiple differently trimmed instances of the same FILE as different CLIPS.)  So in some cases in the Project Panel there is metatdata that distinct to the PPro project versus that which is common to the File asset itself.
    But as far as creating searchable keywords common to PPro and Bridge, this should be able to be achieved pretty painlessly.

  • Avid editor straches head...subclips again

    This is maybe a logging q/workflow q/
    ...Let me start by saying, as an AVID fan and editor of nearly a decade, FCP5 HD is amazing in so many ways. Pick up in the UK is hopfully improving with the BBC and others investing.
    I used FCP last year on a HD 50 min US Discovery Channel doc and I had a love/hate relationship. Certain aspects of the app were just so good (timeline editing, composting, etc). Some however were woeful. I am not going to try and compare Avid with FCP but I must admit to maybe having a legacy workflow that doesn't always translate. I am sure that as FCP works its way into the pro end of the market there will be many other Avid editors scratching their heads. Now I'm on another (my 2nd) FCP project and I'm concerned...
    One of the issues that KILLS me is subclips, and PLEASE DON"T SAY THAT YOU SHOULD CAPTURE YOUR CLIPS LOGGED ALREADY. We don't capture our clips, assistants load the tape and we view when its all in , maybe a week later if there's 25 tapes, whatever.
    There's no way that they're gonna pay your edit rate to sit in a suite with a director and view tapes, spool, capture, etc. if there's hours of footage. And a director who's worked on Avid for years isn't going to give exact clip info to the digitiser, it'll be like, 'go in there and out 25 mins later')
    So now thats out the way, let's see if you can help me out.
    Say we have a 30 min clip with GVs, IVs, and CA.
    Normally I subclip each q/a in the IV, each GV and each CA, etc.
    Then I may stick them in multiple bins, or not. Depends on the project. Some time later I come back , and edit them into a sequence and the director says, there's a great shot a few minutes up tape of that shot on the timeline. So I want to reference the original clip. I matchframe (f) the timeline clip, the viewer loads the subclip. Then I reveal master clip (SHIFT f), an option that is sometimes greyed out for various confusing reasons. That shows me the subclip in the assigned bin. But how do i track back to the the original clip without using the Find command?
    In Avid its Matchframe twice and you've loaded the original clip. It always relates back. Not so in FCP.
    Lets say also that I want to trim a subclip beyond its in or out, I have to remove subclip limits. Next time I load that subclip, its the entire clip. so the subclip is redundant, its just a renamed version of the original clip. Is there another way to trim the subclip beyond its limits WITHOUT blowing the subclip i/o points? Same applies to adding a dissolve, etc, or anything that needs to reference media beyond the original subclip i/o points.
    I think I posted about this before and I had replies suggesting that I had to be more careful choosing i/o points for subclips. Well, i thought this was non linear, random access, non destructive editing. I can do this basic editing technique in Avid versions going back as long as I can remember, why not on FCP 5? Or does FCP really need me to modify my workflow?
    Thanks and apologies for the frustrated tone.

    This must be Euro-Avid-speak. My fault. I have never used Avid and never learned anything besides high school Spanish, so translation is necessary.

    Then you may need to face the unfortunate prospect that you simply will not be able to use FCP in your work. Or you adapt; FCP will never work like your old Avid.
    I do have one—possibly helpful—suggestion (besides asking that you purchase the "FCP for ex-Avid users" books that are on the market). Comparing FCP to Avid gets you two things around here: Views from other Avid users (a decidedly small minority around here) and active avoidance. You might get some help from a larger body of the forum's participants by asking about subclips instead of telling us why they blow. We know that part, subclips in FCP are poorly implemented. That's why I try to never use them.

  • Feature Request: Project Manager Trim Compatibility with all formats please!

    It's 2013, Premiere Pro CC is out, and is more "Final Cut Pro" than ever (thanks Adobe), but there are still some basic things that need to be fixed. This is a DOOZY!...
    With DSLR media being used pretty much everywhere, the inability to created trimmed projects using Project Manager for H.264 clips (and GoPro clips, and more!) is simply insane. Seriously?
    Help me Adobe.... please...
    thanks
    jesse

    Actually, Kevin works right across the San Francisco Bay from where I live. So yes, he is here in the USA.
    You will occasionally get some answers around here from people with Indian names, but we are happy to have them on the forums.
    The conversation about how to deal with the various codecs has been going on for some time, and the more people who request the feature, the more likely they will get it done. I don't like to say that the squeeky wheel gets the grease, but pretty much? It does!
    I know they are thinking about it because of some of the comments I have seen and emails I have received. It appears to be fairly complicated, but personally, I think it is well worth the effort.
    I would like to be able to ingest subclips from Prelude without transcoding (I don't use Prelude because it is useless to me without this feature). Once ingested, if I only use part of a clip, I want it trimmed in the Project Manager to just the footage I might need in the future if I have to make minor adjustments. And yes, that includes handles. So if handles solve part of the problem, that's fine.

  • Match frame from subclip to original full clip?

    Can anybody tell me if it is possible to match frame from a subclip to the original full clip?  When I match frame from a clip in my timeline that came from a subclip, the subclip loads into the source monitor.  I can't find how to then match frame from that back to the original.  I am relatively new to Premiere Pro, and this is a very very useful feature over in Avid land.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for elaborating.
    You can achieve at least part of what you describe by making your subclips "soft." To do so at creation-time, in the Make Subclip dialog, uncheck the option "Restrict Trims to Subclip Boundaries." To convert an existing "hard" subclip, access the Edit Subclip dialog (Clip>Edit Subclip, or right-click>Edit Subclip, or define a keyboard shortcut and use that) and uncheck the option.
    Soft and hard subclips behave differently in two notable ways:
    when you doubleclick a soft subclip in the Timeline, the Source Monitor loads the whole clip. The zoom/scrub bar is zoomed in to the In/Out range of what's used in the sequence, but you can zoom out to view the whole thing. Note that Match Frame does not load the clip in the same way--you're not able to zoom out. However, double-clicking a clip automatic matches frame (if the playhead is over the clip you clicked).
    You can trim out beyond the defined Subclip Boundaries, either in the Timeline or Source Monitor.
    Now, if you want to create a completely new subclip for a different segment, there's no direct command for that, but it's achievable through a series of steps that you may find easier than restarting from the original master clip. (Almost all of the following commands can be executed via keyboard shortcuts.)
    Reveal in Project (from Timeline or Source Mon)
    Duplicate
    Load the dupe in the Source Monitor
    Edit Subclip
    Select the option "Convert to Master Clip" checkbox and click OK.
    At this point, the whole clip will be loaded in the Source Monitor, zoomed to the subclip's In/Out range but without In/Out points set. You can set new In/Out points, then save a new subclip.
    As to why PPro does not maintain a master/sub relationship, I'm afraid I have no clue. I'd say it merits a feature request--both to maintain the link and, naturally, to provide a way to jump from the subclip to the master. You can submit such a request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

  • Subclips inconsistent behavior; not always working correctly in Premiere Pro CC

    I load a clip into the Source panel.  I set in and out points and then CTRL + U to create a subclip.  I have "Restrict Trim to subclip boundaries" turned off.  (Thank you Adobe, I've been waiting for "soft" subclips forEVER!)  The new subclip appears in my Project panel with the correct name and duration (as well as a white audio icon to indicate that it has not yet been used in my project).  Now, I drag that subclip into my sequence.  But the entire clip (a 5 minute interview), from which the subclip was derived, is loaded onto the timeline.
    This has been working correctly for the last hour, and now it has stopped working.  It appears that for the moment, subclipping is dead to me. 
    Help?!

    Thanks for that, Mark.
    I've done a little more testing, and the problem seems to be related to merged clips where (for me) the audio is longer than the video.
    Here's a screenshot of some testing I did:
    Let me talk you through the project browser:
    - At the top there are the source video and audio
    - I then made bins for a trimmed sequence version and an untrimmed sequence (what I mean by trimmed is that the audio was chopped down to the same duration as the video, after syncing)
    - I did the syncing on both manually. For the untrimmed clip, the audio leads the video by 1:29:04.
    - I then made merges of both
    - I then made subclips of both
    Remarks:
    1) The trimmed versions seem to work fine, though I haven't done serious testing. At least the media start and end make sense.
    2) The untrimmed merge "Merge (untrimmed)" is showing a Media Start of 23:57:04:10, which is just wrong. First of all this is a 'negative' time number (C++ signed/unsigned int math coding error?), secondly, it doesn't seem to match anything because it is an offset of -2:55:14, when the video offset is +1:29:04.
    3) When I open "Untrimmed.Subclip001" (as shown in the Source window) it shows a start time of "23:57:04:10" (the very beginning of the "Merge (untrimmed)" clip) instead of "23:58:33:14" which is where I'd set the in point for the subclip (and is shown in the Media Start column). What plays back is, indeed, the very beginning of the untrimmed clip. This is also the case with "Untrimmed.Subclip002" which had an In point set at 6:00:00.
    4) The Subclip Start times shown are totally broken. I really have no idea where it is getting those numbers from. On the other hand, the End times seem to be ok (if you again ignore the fact that I have an end time of "23+ hours" on a clip that is 1 hour long.
    5) The Audio In and Out Points shown don't make any sense to me. They're all just a little bit off the other numbers that are shown.
    Lastly, the source video is AVCHD 1080p24 from a Panasonic GH2 and the audio is 48kHz 24-bit mono from a Zoom H4n
    I hope this helps with your diagnosis.
    Looking forward to your feedback.

  • [CS5] Project Manager Trimming not supported for HDV footage?

    Yes, I have the licensed version of CS5 Production Premium.
    The Premiere Pro "Project Manager" allows you to create a "trimmed" version of your project. That is, only the footage actually used in sequences (along with some handles) is placed in the new, trimmed project. For example, I have a project which uses only 1 second of an 11 second HD Quicktime clip.
    original project folder which includes the clip = 352MB.
    trimmed project folder is = 26MB
    My problem is with a similar project using only a small portion of an HDV clip (M2T):
    original project folder = 232MB
    trimmed project folder = 232MB
    There is nothing I can find int the Adobe help file regarding limitations for HDV files with the trim feature. This problem is not limited to CS5. I experienced it also in CS4 but resolving it was not a priority at the time. But I now have a large number of projects I wish to archive.

    Jeremy, I am assuming that this is harder to solve, because it gets into Premiere and/or the mainconcept codec being used, not providing smart rendering.  You can't just take the middle of an mpeg clip without rendering.  Premiere could do this, but there would be a quality hit.  Is there any chance we will see a more sophisticated approach to mpeg inside Premiere?  And I am also interested in whether the long gop formats are/might be addressed differently from others.
    Todd, here is the CS5 help file that should have this.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c74a .html
    And it does not.
    In earlier versions (I'm still CS3, and I think it was CS3 in which there was this discussion), I found that you could not work around this by creating a subclip.  In fact, the original full clip would be repeated for each instance of the subclip.
    If someone adds a comment to this help entry, and it is a weak attempt, do you edit the comment so that the help file is most useful?

  • CS4 Project manager creates a double copy of footage when there's a subclip. Is this a bug?

    Hi all,
    Although I think I can solve this for my project by changing the clip link, I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem.
    I used the project manager to collect all files. It makes a double copy of a 5 GB footage file. It makes an exact copy of the footage adding a _001 to its name. The duplicated file is made for a subclip. The extra copy seems unneeded. The subclip can be linked to the original footage file just like it is linked in the original project.

    No It isn't. It is DV  in an .AVI file. I used Collect files so the files shouldn't be trimmed. An identical full length copy of the file was made for the subclip.
    I solved it by making the subclip of the new collected project offline and then relinking it to the original file. Then I deleted the extra identical 5 GB file that the project manager created.

  • Missing scrub control and subclip creation

    Even if you can accept all the stuff that has been thrown out in FXPX, which I am finding kind of tough to get my head around, does throwing out the scrub wheel and the ability to make subclips without doing it on the timeline make any kind of sense to anyone? I may be getting cranky and old and set in my ways, or maybe I am just plain dumb and have missed something, but if I have a 20 minute take and want to break it down into three subclips (which was a trivial task in FCP7) FCPX makes me go all around the houses to get the job done. If I start the job using the filmstrip in the event library and need to select precise frames for in and out points, I am reduced to using the j,k,l keys to set the markers - because of the lack of a scrub wheel - and even that is tough compared to being able to preview the clip and set in and out points using the dual screens in FCP7. The unified screen is great as long as you never do any more than trim edits on the timeline and completely frustrating if you want to prep clips as I described above.
    If any of the FCP team are reading this, great job on the speed and responsiveness of the app, but can we have our dual edit screens back, not to mention the scrub wheel? Not to mention all the other stuff that has been thrown away in the name of an attractive interface?

    @1OpenLoop
    Thanks for your suggestion.  
    But what I'm trying to get my head around is this:
    Assume I was creating a 3-minute film from 6 hours of footage of people being interviewed about dogs.
    In my current workflow, the first order of business would be going through all the footage, and as I found a good statement, let's say, about poodles, I would make a subclip and place it into a sequence I'd name "poodles." I'd do the same for "shepards," "collies," etc.  I wouldn't need to spend time typing in keywords: simply select a rough in and out point and do a quick overwrite edit to place the clip into its appropriate "logging" sequence. 
    When I'd looked and "logged" all the footage in this way, I'd create a new sequence which would be my First Pass of the 3 minute film itself.  
    I'd then be able to rapidly go through (scrub or quickly play) the "poodle" sequence, e.g, and find clips that I'd then copy and paste into my First Pass Sequence.  I'd do this for all of the initial sequences until I had a rough assembly of the film. 
    As I went along I would duplicate the First Pass Sequence to create a Second Pass Sequence, etc until I had a final cut.  
    This process has been very efficient and very fast. 
    I'm afraid the need to type in keywords might be much slower.  And the inability, as I understand it now, to have multiple sequences at my fingertips, could really make creating this kind of film a cumbersome process.
    I'm not giving up on FCP X yet, but I'm getting close.  
    If anyone has ideas on how to approach the kind of editing I've described in FCP X that would bring things up to speed, I appreciate it.
    I need to decide whether  to stick with Apple or start seriously looking at Avid or Premiere.
    Thanks.

  • Subclips from Merged clips sync problem

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping someone has some insight into a problem I'm having. When I sync audio to my TK dailies, I usually go through the following steps:
    1. Sync video clip and audio clip in the timeline.
    2. Trim the ends so that I get rid of all the audio and video at the beginning and end I don't need.
    3. Link audio and video.
    4. Drag linked clips to browser, thus creating a merged clip. This clip will have the in and out I set in the timeline, but the media start and stop will be the original clips' lengths. Because this means I usually have a big long useless bunch of audio at the beginning with no picture, I like to get rid of this, so I:
    5. Create a subclip from the merged clip in the browser. This creates a new clip with the media start and end at the point of the former merged clip's in and out. No extra media to clutter things up.
    HOWEVER, for some reason this isn't working for me now. When I create the subclip, Final Cut does make the in and out points the new media start and stop times for each individual audio and video clip, but it syncs the clips randomly, so I have sound with no image, then a little random overlap, then image with no sound. If I drag this new subclip made from the merged clip to the timeline, I can unlink and relink to restore the proper sync, but obviously this is a huge pain.
    This has never happened to me before, and I've used this method for a while, I THINK from before FCP 6. But right now I'm working on an FCP 5.1.4 again so perhaps it's just something that works in 6? Though I'm almost sure I did it before version 6 successfully.
    Does anyone know what's up with this? Or have any ideas for another method to get to the same result? There probably is a better way to do this anyway!
    Thanks,

    Well, I spoke too soon. That DID turn out to be the problem for that one project, which was at 29.97 non drop frame in general, but for some reason the sound imports as drop frame (though the sound guy assures me it's non drop and all my setting are non drop).
    However, I'm having the same problem now in a 24fps project, where I have audio at 48KHz with 24fps timecode and I did a reverse telecine on the original 16mm video. I noticed, however, that though the telecine had no audio, empty audio was captured, and it thinks this audio was at 48048 Hz. This remains even after the reverse telecine. Could this be the problem in this instance?

  • Trimming Media in Media Manager

    Hi everyone!
    I captured my footage withouth logging, then I used DV start/stop detection to create subclips and renamed them... Now I would like to make a copy or use the existing media to create different files from each subclip... I followed the step by step tutorial in the FCP user manual (FCP version 5.0.4)...
    - I deleted the original master clip from wich I created subclips
    - I selected the subclips I want to manage
    - I used media manager with these settings
    "use existing", "delete unused media etc..." (no handles), "use clip names", deselected "duplicate selected items and place into a new project"...
    The result was that FCP create a single (trimmed) file using the name of the first subclip I selected...
    What's the problem?
    Sometimes I'm one of them who dreams to come back to Avid when using FCP MM...

    Sorry, I just realized I posted to FCE forum...
