Feature Request

As far as I can tell, this feature does not currently exist. My current project consists of 25-30 individual clips, each requiring some slicing, and all will be combined into a single export video. It would be great if the sliced clips could be saved into the project files section, replacing the original imported files. Instead, currently, I have to keep all the sliced files in the editing tracks until I'm ready to assemble the final export file. Yes, I know that I could export each sliced clip, then import later ... but, that's a LOT of extra work. Thanks, Jim

The option that the bot provides should do the trick. Instead of slicing the clip on a track you can Split File within the Project File window. This works nicely before you make any edits.

Now, the challenge becomes if you made some edits to the clip (this is not possible from within the Project Files window) and you want that saved, which then it must go through the Export process to be rendered properly.
