You can use markers to bust up the clip without generating more clips. 
then affect each marked piece differently try it. Put the first marker 
at the beginning.
You can do destructive editing by rendering an edited clip , keeping 
the rendered bit and throwing away the original. But I think most of us 
prefer more and bigger drives instead.
