    Is there a way to create movie files from clips?

    I ripped a DVD using Cinematize Pro and I imported it into Media Composer 6.5.
    I dropped it into my timeline and began adding edits at all the original edit points. For example, every time the original editor made an edit, I duplicated that edit in my timeline.
    I ended up with probably about 50 edits, each are marked with a white dot.

    Is there a way that I can turn each of the 50 clips into it's own .mov file?
    I would like each clip to appear in the bin as a thumbnail so that I can easily select clips for my re-edit.

    I am able to lift the clips and re-position them in the timeline, but it would be much easier if I could get them in the bin as thumbnails.
    I'm teaching myself how to edit and this is for a learnnig exercise.

    Any advice would be most helpful.

    Thanks!

    You could mark each of the clips and export as a .mov file then reimport them into MC.  That would be one way,  I am sure that others will step in here and suggest others.

    Select each clip and alt-drag it into a bin. This creates  sub clips that you can edit into another sequence.

    Thank you Denny, this works great!

    Is there a way to do a batch export so that I don't have to do this for each individual clip?

    Re: Is there a way to create movie files from clips?

    Thank you Brickwad, I'm new to Avid I'm not sure how to drag a clip into a bin.

    When I click on the clip, and alt drag, I see a rectangular lasso and pink marks are placed in the first and last selected clips.

    I tried marking the clips first, but I wasn't able to alt drag to the bin that way either.

    I'm just getting started with Avid, and I'm still trying to learn the basics.

    Thanks!
