Looking for best method for editing large number of multiclips
I have a project with 6 multiclips of hour long interviews (combining footage from 2 cameras, shot 24PA, brought in in multiple clips from each because of timecode breaks). I also have 13 hours of dance performances that have also been multiclipped.
The cameras were not sync’ed, so I used auxiliary timecode to patch all of the clips together. It was hellish.
I’m looking through all of my final cut books and have been googling for hours. I’m left a little at a loss for why multiclips don’t allow subclipping.
When I’ve used multiclipping before, it was for a long stretch of footage that didn’t need to be intercut.
Now that I’m working on something that’s more of a traditional documentary style, I’m kind of stuck. I would like to subclip these interviews down, name the subclips, drop them in a bin to order them, and then drop them to the timeline. All the options that I’m left with without subclipping seem suboptimal and messy.
What have other folks done?

I don’t see the problem – drag your multiclip to the timeline, set in and out points and create your subclip. It works.
Well, a small problem: if you drag that subclip into another timeline then you don’t get all the angles. But if you doubleclick on that subclip it will open as a sequence itself and all angles are there.
