Manually Breaking Large Clips Into Subclips
There are a few ways you can create subclips in Final Cut Express HD:
 Create markers in a clip, and then turn them into subclips.
 Create subclips manually, one at a time, by setting In and Out points in the original
clip and choosing Modify > Make Subclip.
Turning Markers Into Subclips
Once a clip has markers, you can easily turn the markers into subclips. Subclips are
defined from one marker to the next. If there is only one marker, the Out point of the
subclip is determined by the clip Out point. If you double-click a marker in the Browser,
it opens a subclip in the Viewer. For more information, see Chapter 18, “
Using Markers ,”
on page 235.
To turn a clip’s markers into subclips:
1 Click a clip’s disclosure triangle in the Browser to reveal its markers.
2 Select the markers in the clip by dragging across all of them at once, or by clicking the
first marker and then shift-clicking the last marker.
