Subclips and Master clips

[Ben Scott]

did you know about the way for subclipping from the clip markers, rename the markers, maybe even put the clip into its own bin, then with markers selected in browser go modify make subclip

if you need to get the markers to come across no easy way, but maybe reveal source file technique and make sure to do it on marker, then add new marker in the clip in the viewer, then if more markers or in/outs needed why not turn on ganging and move through clips in timeline and then back to viewer to mark up. once finished marking all the stuff you need just drag the clip you need back to the browser as a new instance of master clip. maybe this works, not tried

what I suggest to people is if they like capturing all their footage as long clips from tape then use subclip to cut down to the rushes needed. then drop all subclips in any order to timeline and media manage in the way you want, maybe even recapturing footage. make sure to delete all unused media and dont refer to master clips. this should make final cut and other apps in the suite work a lot better in long run and definitely less problems when editing a complex project. you could even capture with some extra handles as well. may just be very long winded but a bit like the logging stage and done before a proper rough cut.

Hello Shane,

If l have understood your thread, you should be able to get a match back from your subclip to your original file by using Command/Option/F. the link below should explain

Yup…that is correct.

I gotta read more Ken Stone articles…I didn’t know that one was there.

Thanks for that.

Well — one of the things i do is a lot of continuous rolling shooting and because of the subject matter I just let er rip. I also do a lot of out of sequence shooting so i find sub-clipping as a first step of workflow is crucial and then I toss the various sub-clips into bins and since i use mostly FCE right now – i can promote them all to masterclips – with er “full rights”. That first set of steps creates for me my action sequences set up in he right order to now lay down the right time track — which is why i find subclipping useful.

still doesn’t get you to the master clip in the browser though. Mine keeps saying ‘Clips master is not present, would you like to add it to the browser?’. No thanks, I just want you to find the original clip, like a basic edit program should!
