make subclip via mouse?

[Jerry Hofmann]

You can make subclips from markers… the marker then can be dragged from the clip in the browser and instantly create a subclip from that marker to the next…

You really need to learn how to work with this application rather than trying to make it work like some other application you used.

All the best,

It’s fast too! Just play double or triple speed, type m each place you want a new subclip to start. Open the disclosure triangle next to the clip in the Browser, and reveal the markers. Drag a marker anywhere ya want in the browser to create the subclip.

I know, that`s the classic answer to everything (no offense of course 🙂 It`s just that the Premiere way makes a lot of sense. I also hate being forced to switch from timeline back to source every time I make an edit. Oh well, no editing app is perfect.

[Tom Wolsky]

From timeline? You don’ really mean timeline do you? You’re not marking in and out points in the timeline and making a subclips of that with Cmd-U, are you?

All the best,

Tom

You can add a button to the viewer window. Under Tools choose Button List. Twirl the triangle next to Modify Menu. Drag “make subclip” to the upper right corner of the viewer.

Now open a clip in the viewer, mark and in and out, and click that make subclip button, and you didn’t have to use Command-U. You used a mouse to make a subclip.

[Jiri Fiala]

No I`m not making subclips from timeline 🙂 What I meant was a completely different issue – having got to press Q every frikkin time I make an edit to timeline from source monitor.

[Jiri Fiala]

Steven, I meant using mouse as in dragging from source monitor to Browser. That`s the way Premiere does it and I think it makes sense. You can drag this to whatever bin you have, whereas in FCP, subclip is always created in root level of folders. It`s just a tiny detail of course, but editing app makers should really copy more from each other 🙂

[Tom Wolsky]

Drag the clip to the edit overlay and it will leave the viewer the active window, but what’s this got to do with making subclips?

All the best,

You can drag a clip to any bin you want. They’re not subclips though. A subclip always goes into the bin it came from. If you’re splitting up a shot and you want its subclips in a specific bin, move or copy the clip there and make the subclips. What format are you working in BTW?

All the best,

Tom
