Hi
".... is there no possibility to export clips without going through sequences? directly select the clip in the timeline and export it. ..."
You can export directly from the timeline but it will be the whole timeline not just a selected section......That's the normal way one exports. But as it stands, creating Sequences from your main clip and exporting them en masse is the only way to go but it's slow.
Now....Although currently you can chop out sections of your video and then drag/drop them into the Video Clip bin, which can be done quite quickly, you can't export en masse the contents of the Video Clip bin as separate new files (like sequences) when you are finished. It could be useful though. Why not suggest it?
