I was very happy to see the sub-clip feature added to V5 and I really believed it would be something I would find very useful.

My workflow often has me working on projects initially in multiple veg files and I decided to use the subclip feature to isolate segments that I wanted to bring in to a master veg.

Creating and naming the clips was a breeze... but when I tried to copy the subclips from the media pool in one veg to the media pool in another... I hit a brick wall.

It surprised me that you cannot simply drag clips from the media pool in one veg to another although it seems this does not just apply to subclips but to any item in the media pool (same as V4). Why is that?

I got around this limitation before by importing the clips into the media pool of a new veg. This is fine for <real> media clips but there is no way to do this for the <imaginary> sub-clips.

I did find a work-around but it is not very useful to me. You have to place all your sub-clips from one veg onto the timeline and then do a copy and paste between the veg files. This would be <almost acceptable> apart from the little problem that the subclip names do not come across. Or rather the name comes across in the "take name" but the actual name of the subclip in the media pool reverts to the original full clip name plus a subclip numeric sequence.

So for me... I really want a way to easily transfer the sub-clips from one veg to another without losing the subclip names in the media pool.
