You can put the long clip into the viewer, mark new in and out points, then convert it to a subclip by Modify>make subclip (or Command U). You can rename it in the browser, and repeat the process. You can also turn it into an independent clip using the same Modify menu. Ray On 16-Oct-04, at 5:02 PM, revDAVE wrote: > Using FCP 4.5 > > Thanks for all the help so far James and Peter!
