Power Director Ultimate 14.0.2820.0

I have old VHS recording of family events. This was converted using Hauppage HD PVR and Total Media Extreme to M2TS format.

There are several distinct events all present on the one recording.

PD successfully finds the all the different sections of the recording ( I can see the black bars between them). However it treats them as one video not as clips. I wish to split this into several parts, one for each event.

My initial thought was that I would create a new project for each event. I would then use the M2TS recording and cut out everything that that was not to do with the event I was handling and create a video for that event without extra editing. I would then create a new project and follow exactly the same process for every other event. This feels like a sledgehammer approach.

Is there an easier way?

Could I cut sections of the video out and make them into clips so that I only need 1 project and 1 pass?



Thanks
