Creating Subclips

V
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.
3
Do one of the following:
 Drag the markers outside of the clip and into the Browser.
 Choose Modify > Make Subclip.
∏
Tip: If you are having a hard time dragging the markers out of the clip, try dragging
the markers to the Name column heading in the Browser. When you see the Name
column highlight with a rectangle, release the mouse button.
Subclips, identified by special subclip icons, are created. If you dragged the markers out
of the clip, the markers in the clip are removed. If you chose Modify > Make Subclip,
the markers remain in the clip after the subclips are created.
∏
Tip: Subclips are named based on the marker name. To create more meaningful
subclip names, change the marker names in the Browser before creating subclips.
All of the material
between the markers you
selected should now
appear as subclips.
