What’s wrong with my workflow….
I’ve been a premier user for a while. Now I’m ramping up on FCP. What I like to do is capture a tape w/o logging clips. I know this is a religious debate, but I’m not asking about weather to log at capture. What I like to do is play the tape back in the source monitor, set in and out points of various scenes, and then drag the scene to a folder of misc. clips for arrangement on a timeline.
When i do this with FCP, all clips are called the same name, but they do have individual in/out points, which you can imagine gets confusing to read. If I rename the 3rd scene in a captured clip I’ve dragged over, it renames all clips from that source clip.
Do you understand what I’m trying to do here? Create clips from a master clip. When I drag a segment over to a bin, I’d like to be able to rename each clip to reference what’s going on. I think I’m missing some hot key combination or something that will allow new clips to be made/referenced from a master clip.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

We feel for you…

In FCP that’s called creating a subclip. Place an in and out point on a clip in the viewer and hit Command-U.
