Hi, Walter, As Jeff pointed out, you can import a project with all of its sub-clips into another project and use the sub-clips that way. I believe you can also copy and paste sub-clips from one project to another if you don't mind the time Premiere takes to shift between projects.
As for hard drive space, it hasn't been a problem for me. A full hour of HDV video captured as a single clip takes 13 gigabytes, a pretty small amount these days when a 500-gig drive is relatively cheap. (That's capacity for 38 full tapes.) If I save individual clips from an hour's worth of tape, I typically save about 66% of the full hour, so although I save some room with individual clips, it's not always that much. I've been using multiple drives and hot-swappable USB drives to provide even more capacity. I look at the full-tape clip as a back-up for the tape in case the tape fails. As Jeff points out, if you're really concerned about space, project management can turn sub-clips into real clips with separate files if you want. I notice as well that when you choose to edit a sub-clip in the project window, one of the options is "convert to master clip." I just find the convenience of sub-clips to be worth any extra storage requirements. As for finding that one great clip in an hour master clip, it's no more difficult than picking out one great clip to capture from an hour tape. It is, in fact, easier, at least for me. Once I get subclips into the project window, I sort them into bins by location and then by subject (Indonesia bin with boat shots, diver shots, invertebrates, schooling fish, etc. sub-bins). It's organized so I can find them pretty easily.; I think Premiere's a bit weak when it comes to managing resources in the project window, but it does offer plenty of fields in which to write data about each clip and the ability to add custom fields. It also offers a somewhat primitive Find function that lets you search for subclips across all the bins if you know what you're looking for.
