    I would say the difference with cut or remove is, using cut should allow you to paste the removed selection somewhere else, remove should just delete it

      That makes sense. Maybe 'remove' does not copy the segment to the clipboard, whereas 'cut' does. --Jim

    I have a need, question on a related question.
    I have the need to cut a 90 minute video on track 1 into many clips and want to be able to export only the clips I pull to track two.
    I don't see anyway to do this. I have turn off the track 1 visibility and that didn't work, locking it didn't work.
    Anyone have ideas?

      Do you want to export each of the individual clips on track 2 as separate files? If so, you can use the range selection tool to extract the clips, copy the range on track 2, and then use the range tool again to select each segment you have copied and produce it as an independent clip to use elsewhere. Is this what you have in mind? --Jim

      @@powerdirectorworkshop6999 HI Jim, thanks so much for your response. Let me see if I follow you and I will try your idea.
      But let me explain in more detail to see if that makes the situation clearer on what I am trying to do. I video HS tennis matches and they are big files - 45 GB. I want to put the file on track one, then watch the video and mark and cut segments that are 'highlights' and then once done I want to be able to save all these cut segments to individually exported clips that I can use for instruction. I could not figure out how to do this other than one by one and that is very labor intensive. As a solution I downloaded Davinci Resolve 19 and it can do this very easily, so I thought maybe I am missing the PD365 twist on it. Let me see if I can get your instructions to work. - Thx!

      @@powerdirectorworkshop6999 Ok, I just tried what I interpreted as your instructions. It does allow me to export whatever my choosen range is, which is partially good, but not totally. What I want and what Resolve allows is for me to select a range of individual clips at once and then it automatically saves each one to its own rendered file. That is the part PD365 doesn't do. In PD365 if I select a range of clips it will export them all together into one export. I need it to save each to its own file.

      It sounds like in Resolve you can select a range of clips that have space between them and it will take each segment in that range that has content and render it as a unique file. Do I understand that correctly?

      @@powerdirectorworkshop6999 Hi,
      Actually no space is needed, just cut clips inline, then you can select them and choose, "render to individual files", with a bunch of options. Works really well. But.. I don't want to have to become proficient in Resolve just for this one feature as Resolve has a pretty steep learning curve.
