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

i would love to have a closer look at this,
but am on the road right now.

i have often used Media Manager to successfully trim a single CLIP.
(not subclip)
generally from the timeline.
i do this if i need to create a trimmed, stand-alone version for
optical flow work.

if it really is just one sublcip,
open it in the viewer,
and Export.
