About Subclips

Subclips are shorter clips you create from a longer master clip. You can create multiple subclips from a single master clip. For example, you can open a 15-minute clip in the Viewer and subdivide it into as many subclips as you need. As you create subclips, the master clip remains open in the Viewer.

Once you've created a subclip, you can open it in the Viewer and work with it in the same way as any other clip. Changes you make to a subclip won't affect the master clip.

Final Cut Express places new subclips in the same project folder as the master clip, automatically naming each clip as you create it. For example, if the master clip is named "Whole Thing," the first subclip is named "Whole Thing Subclip," the second is "Whole Thing Subclip 2," and so on.

Once you create a subclip, you can rename it and trim the edit points, but you cannot extend the subclip's In and Out points beyond the In and Out points of its master clip.

Tip

If you need to extend a subclip's edit points beyond its current duration, you must remove the subclip's limits, restoring your subclip to the full length of the master clip, and then set new In and Out points.

FCE Protocol: Subclips Are Master Clips, Too

Final Cut Express 2 introduced new clip- handling behavior, classifying clips as Master, Affiliate, or Independent. Each clip type has protocols that govern its actions. You can get the gory details on FCE's new clip-handling behavior in Chapter 4, "Projects, Sequences, and Clips."

What's important to note here is that any new subclip you create starts out life as a separate master clip, with no affiliate ties to the master clip you created it from.

To create a subclip:

Double-click a clip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer window.

Mark the clip's In and Out points (Figure 8.44 ).

Figure 8.44. Mark an Out point for your subclip.

Choose Modify > Make Subclip (Figure 8.45 ). or press Command-U.

Figure 8.45. Choose Modify > Make Subclip.

A new, automatically named subclip appears in the Browser, below the master clip (Figure 8.46 ).

Tip

A word of caution: If you choose to recapture a project containing a subclip, Final Cut Express will recapture the entire length of the master media file containing the subclip. For tips on project recapture, see Chapter 20, "Managing Complex Projects."

To create a subclip from a marker:

In the Browser, click the marked clip's expansion triangle to reveal a list of its markers; then select the marker you want (Figure 8.47 ).

Figure 8.47. Click the clip's expansion triangle; then select the desired marker from the list.

Choose Modify > Make Subclip; or press Command-U.

The new subclip appears in the Browser. The subclip has a duration equal to the extended marker's duration (Figure 8.48 ). If the marker has no extended duration, the subclip will extend to the next marker in the clip.

Figure 8.48. The new subclip appears in the Browser. Note that the subclip's duration is equal to the extended marker's duration.

Using DV Start/Stop Detection" in Chapter 5.

To adjust a subclip's length:

Select a subclip in the Browser or a sequence subclip in the Timeline.

Choose Modify > Remove Subclip Limits.

Open the subclip in the Viewer.

The full length of the master clip appears. If you have selected a Timeline subclip, the current In and Out points will still be displayed.

Set new In and Out points for the subclip.
