Grouped clips
To use a master clip and its subclips in another project, import the project that contains the clips.
In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, you can create a subclip from any merged clip in the same way you would any other subclip. The Master Clip
Start timecode is the earliest timecode of the component clips. The Master Clip End timecode is the latest timecode of the component clips. The
Convert to Master Clip check box is disabled.
Create a subclip from the Project panel
You can create a subclip from source clips or other subclips that are made up from a single media file.
1. Double-click a clip in the Project panel to open it in the Source Monitor.
2. In the Source Monitor, set In and Out points for the subclip. Either or both the In point and Out point must differ from the source clip In point
and Out point.
3. Do one of the following:
Choose Clip > Make Subclip, enter a name for the subclip, and click OK.
Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) the clip to the Project panel. Type a name for the subclip, and click OK.
The subclip appears in the Project panel with a Subclip icon , , , . The icon varies depending on the media type.
4. (Optional) To retain the original In and Out points in the master clip, reset them in the Source Monitor while previewing the master clip.
You can also convert a master clip into a subclip by selecting the source clip in the Project panel or Source Monitor, choosing Clip > Edit
Subclip, and setting media start and end times for the subclip.
Create a subclip from a Timeline panel
You can create subclips from a Timeline panel.
Do one of the following:
Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) a clip instance from a sequence into an open bin in a Project panel. Type a name for the
subclip, and click OK.
Right-click a clip instance in a sequence, and select Make Subclip. Type a name for the subclip, and click OK.
Adjust media start and end times of a subclip
1. Select the subclip in the Project panel.
2. Choose Clip > Edit Subclip.
3. Edit the Subclip Start and End timecode fields.
Note: If you select an instance of a subclip in the Project panel, you cannot set new Start and End points that lie within the instance Start and
End points. This limit prevents losing frames that are used in the sequence.
Convert a subclip to a master clip
1. Select the subclip in the Project panel.
2. Choose Clip > Edit Subclip.
The converted clip retains the master clip start and end times that are listed in the Edit Subclip dialog box.
3. Select Convert To Master Clip, and then click OK.
Play back a clip in the Project panel
You can use the preview area at the top of a Project panel to preview individual clips.
1. Select the clip.
2. Press the Play button on the thumbnail viewer. The Play button becomes a Stop button. Press Stop to stop playback. (Playing the clip in
the thumbnail viewer does not affect Source Monitor views.)
In Premiere Pro CS6, you can play back clips in icon view in the Project panel. To do this:
1. In the Project panel, click the Icon View button.
2. Select the clip by clicking on it.
3. To play, press L or the spacebar. (To stop, click the Stop button, or press K or the spacebar. The button and the spacebar toggle between
Play and Stop.) To play in reverse, press J.
