To mark an entire clip or segment:
1. Load a clip or sequence into a monitor.
2. In a sequence, move the position indicator to the segment that you want to mark.
3. In the Track Selector panel in the Timeline, select the tracks corresponding to the cuts you
want to mark.
For more information, see “Understanding the Track Selector Panel” on page 664.
4. Click the Mark Clip button.
Creating Subclips
When you mark footage with IN and OUT points, either you can save the entire clip along with
the new marks, or you can create subclips based on the marks you set to break up longer master
clips into smaller segments of selected footage. This procedure is similar to creating a pull reel of
the selects or circle takes of your best footage before editing.
Subclips do not directly reference the original media. Subclips remain linked to the master clips
from which they are created, and the master clips, in turn, reference the captured media files
located on your media drives. As a result, none of the original footage is lost.
In most projects, subclips do not limit your access to the original, captured master clip material
when trimming. Therefore, if you must trim beyond the marked IN to OUT boundaries of the
subclip to make it longer or shorter, your Avid editing application accommodates the boundary
adjustments during the trim.
However, when subclips are created in 24p or 25p projects, they are always created as “hard”
subclips, and you cannot trim past the edges of the subclip when adjusting transitions and edits.
Hard subclips prevent film tracking information errors for editing and cut lists.
New subclips appear in bins with a distinct subclip icon and with a numbered .Sub file name
extension.
