Hi.

Let's say I have a video clip that contains 2 or more usable items, especially where those two items are relatively unrelated. For example, I have an opening narrator shot that ends with a blooper. I want to use both, but I won't put the blooper in the opening of the finished product.

Is it typical to import the clip twice, and mark separate in/out points, then use each as though they were different clips?

I'm motivated to do this, because I like using the "Video Usage" counter to make sure I don't overuse clips, and this way I will keep the correct counts.

create subclip....

opps, right answer, wrong forum ;-(

You only need to import the clip once.
Then you can set various in & out points and use the clip repeatedly in your project as needed.
