To mark an entire clip or segment:

want to mark.

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.
