Re: [FCP-L] Why are Subclips not affiliate clips?

Well, that sounds like a reasonable explanation. Had not thought of
that angle.

One reason to go back to the master is to see the markers in the
original master clip. For instance, a master clip might have 5 marked
takes, but only one was subclipped. I would like to go back to the
original master to see the other marked takes with their names and
comments.

Cheers,
tod
