Make independent clip is it lossless?
I have a project that may require eventual independent clips and I’m wondering if final cut performs a save as function when creating independent clips rather than export function.
its my understanding that for example when you open a quicktime file in quicktime pro, mark in and out, copy then paste into another player and Save as, you are in effect not compressing it again like you would be if you simply did an export.
this is similar to using mpeg streamclip to load a dvd, mark in and out and demux the streams then re-author them without any recompression.
am i right?

Neither. When you right click on a sequence and choose “make independent clips” you’re not creating any new media. All you’re doing is removing any relationship between the clips in that timeline and any other clips in the project. The media files they refer to on your hard drive remain unchanged.
