Re: [FCP-L] Cannot "Media Manage" a subclip?

I've used trick 2 with subclips, separating alternating clips into two
bins, but this apparently does not work if you only have one subclip
from a media file. If you only have one subclip from a masterclip, it
won't even make a "copy" of the media much less discard the media you
don't want. Have not tested "move" because, frankly, I don't care.
I hate "move" in MM unless I have no other choice. I copy and then
delete.
