I think I have a subclip solution. Compound Clips.

How to make a subclip (a compound clip with separation from the original clip) via a keyword or favorite mark a long clip.1) keyword or favorite part of a clip
2) Select the favorite or keyword element. Choose Opt-G new compound clip.This is a new ‘sequence’ that wraps a single clip based on your in/out (via favorites or keyword selections)
The compound clip can be trimmed, have it’s name changed, and separate metadata (and further favoring/keywords) – and is separate from the original.
Try it and Let me know what you think.

I’ve been using Compound Clips as sequences, too, since it fits better with my organizational scheme than Projects do right now. Here is a thread where we’ve been discussing this:

I think, for me, it’s far more effective to assign a particular keyword (“subclip”, or “select”) to a modifier key, create my range, hit the key, and keep going down my list. That way, with the least amount of keystrokes, I’m left with a smart folder that’s filled with my subclips.
The keyword and range features combine to create subclips, which can then also have additional keywords, contain no information outside the range, and appears in a separate “bin” in the browser.
Just my 2¢.

Matt, This was more meant as a way to get around the problem people were complaining about with the lack of subclips – separate naming and metadata.
That’s all – I’m not wedded to subclips; likely, I’d try keyword and favorites before I’d rely on subclips – because I’d try to embrace the full workflow before I really try to work around it.
It was just an “ah-ha” as a workaround and I wanted to share.

Compound clips are SO the new Sequences…
Thought the same thing yesterday. Works pretty nice.
