Can I automatically create subclips with the limits removed?
When editing footage, I typically watch the entire imported file and create subclips for the actual bits I plan on putting in my timeline. I typically like removing subclip limits from the subclips, and I’m wondering if there is a way to automatically do this so that, when I make a subclip, I don’t have to do an extra step to remove the limits.
thanks!

So you want subclips that aren’t subclips? Because they have the limits removed, they are ALL master clips?

Use markers instead.

No I don’t think you can. I find the way Avid does this better but as has been said you just have to work in a different way. There is a good description here … https://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=28%26section=1%26tasks=true

Yeah, its not exactly the same workflow, but with Markers (Markers can have a duration in FCP, similar to subclips, unlike in Avid, in which they can only be assigned to a frame) he can see the specific part of the clip he selected, without limitation of the subclip.
If you want it to behave like a master clip, you load the master clip into the viewer (where the marker shows the “subclipped” portion.
If you want it to act like an FCP subclip, with its limitations, you can double click the marker itself in the browser or drag it directly to the timeline. If you change your mind and want to go to the “unlimited” master clip, just match frame back to the original and overwrite.
Not exactly like Avid, but FCP is not Avid.
