Creating clips - saving clips created by splitting

[Tom Gustafson]

Hello,

My question deals with saving the individual smaller
clips created from a larger clip using the "split into
two clips at this frame" button under the preview
window. I would really like to save these new clips as
separate clips to be used, but it does not seem
possible. You can "copy" the new clip, but it will not
let you paste in the collections area, only into a brand
new project timeline or other timeline. I just need to
save it into the collections area so it can be used like
any other clip

If anyone knows of a work-around or how to do this, it
would be a great time saver!

Cheers,
Tom Gustafson

Tom,

Assuming you are talking about MM2, you can do what you want if you split
the clip by selecting it in the collections content pane, not in the
timeline. If you split in the collection file, you get two clips to use in
the collections folders. If you split in the timeline, you get two clips to
use in project timelines.

You might want to copy the clip first before splitting, so you have your
choice of using the whole clip or the spit part.

Hope you know what I mean.
