Workflow for batch extracting many short clips from long footage I have longer video footage from which I would like to extract many short clips. To add some context, this is for a sign language research project where I have several long source videos, about 1 hour of footage each. I would like to extract individual signs from these videos and keep the main (long) footage intact. I would also like the ability to rename or fine tune the clip selections later on, if needed.  

Can anyone recommend a video editing workflow that would allow me to select clips from the footage by setting in and out points for each clip with the option of naming each clip as I go. I need to have the ability to custom name each clip, a serialized name won't work in my situation.

Here's what I'm hoping for in my overall workflow:


Apply any needed color correction or other adjustments to the main
footage.
Apply a custom crop to the main footage.
Select and individually name short clips from within the main
footage. 
Export the selected clips.


Thanks in advance for any help. I'm on Mac OSX and would prefer a solution that uses Final Cut, but I'm not sure if FCP can do this or not, or if it would require a plugin or something.
Here is the solution for Final Cut Pro, to export out all individual clips on your Timeline.  There is a FCP plugin called Primaries Exporter, in the App Store, which will very easily export all individual clips on the Timeline, to any folder you designate.  I've been using it myself for a couple of years now, and it works great.
