Body: <p>I have a long video of 24 minutes and I'll only really be using seconds long clips from it. I use the "I" and "O" to select a portion that I like and I was wondering if there was a way to save the selected portion to the computer and as separate project files? I know about auditioning though I don't think it has really worked out too well for me.</p>

Comments.Text: Dang, alright thanks. I suppose I'll just have to do some workarounds or simply not work with large clips in final cut. I'll def try exporting and see how it works. Thanks.

  I have a long video of 24 minutes and I'll only really be using seconds long clips from it. I use the "I" and "O" to select a portion that I like and I was wondering if there was a way to save the selected portion to the computer and as separate project files? I know about auditioning though I don't think it has really worked out too well for me.
