Creating Subclips
Lengthy media files can be unwieldy for editing. If you
capture an entire tape as a single media file, you can
break the clip into shorter subclips. You can also break
the media file into smaller media files.
This chapter covers the following:

Learning About Subclips
For organizational purposes, you can break up a single large clip into several subclips.
Subclips are defined by In and Out points or markers set in the original clip prior to the
creation of subclips. New subclips automatically become their own master clips, with
no affiliation to the clip from which they were created.
