Clip in / out vs. Media start / end
When we create subclips from a master clip by marking in and out point, the resulting subclips don’t have in and out time code in the logging screen. Rather, FCP indicates only a media “start” and “end.” Is there something we are doing wrong? Sorry for the bonehead question!

No, FCP treats a subclip as a master clip and a complete piece of media. You need to mark I/O in the subclip before you edit. Do not use subclipping as an editing function but rather as an organizational tool.

Thanks Tom. Once we drag a subclip from the logging bin into the timeline, it creates an in and out point automatically.
The problem we are having is once we have the timeline refined (by adjusting the in & out points of each subclip in the timeline), we can’t capture the original camera footage correctly with handles. Our editor says its because we don’t have in & out points set in the logging bin and, our editor (who is new to FCP) says he does not know how to only capture the timeline refined clips with handles.

That’s correct, but the I/O is the media limits, which means you can’t add any transitions.
The standard procedure is to create the subclips which act master clips to break down your media. You then open the subclip into the viewer, mark I/O and edit into the timeline.
Simply the select the sequence in the browser use batch capture.
All the best,
Tom
