Creating subclips
A subclip is a section of a master (source) clip that you want to edit and manage separately in your project. You can use subclips to organize long
media files.
You work with subclips in a Timeline panel as you do with master clips. Trimming and editing a subclip is constrained by its start and end points.
However, you can set new In and Out points for a subclip, as long as they fall between the original In and Out points you set for the subclip when
you create it from the master clip.
Subclips reference the master clip’s media file. If you delete a master clip or take it offline and keep its media on disk, the subclip and its instance
remain online. If you take the original media off disk, the subclip and its instances go offline. If you relink a master clip, its subclips remain linked to
the original media.
If you recapture or relink a subclip, it becomes a master clip, and all ties to the original media are broken. The recaptured media includes the
subclip’s referenced portion of the media only. Any instances of the subclip are relinked to the recaptured media.
You cannot make the following types of clips into subclips:
Selections of multiple clips
Titles, still images, synthetic clips
Sequence clips
Grouped clips
To use a master clip and its subclips in another project, import the project that contains the clips.
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.
