Sub-clips have completely changed my workflow. I used to capture a series of small clips from the master tape, a process that took a lot of time. I now capture a whole one-hour tape as a single clip and play through it in the source window. I mark the in and out points of a sub-clip, drag it to the project window and name it, then repeat through the entire master clip until I've pulled out all the clips I want.
Advantages: It's a lot easier to precisely mark and pull out sub-clips from a master clip than it is to physically play a tape, jog and shuttle for in and out points, and then wait for Premiere to capture all the clips, even if you're using batch capture. Once you create sub-clips, they act like real clips in the project window and timeline. You don't end up with a folder full of small AVI files, just a single AVI file for each tape. Disadvantages: You're dependent on the project window to manage your sub-clips, and it doesn't offer as many tools as I'd like to label, sort, and sift through clips to get what you want. But maybe I haven't explored them as much as I should.
