Fast clipping
Use Media tab at bottom of the screen.
Use media storage window on the left to select video files.
You can right click → add to pool on files.
Use J K L buttons to rewind clip and press more times for more speed.
To make a clip - use I - In-Point for start of fragment and O - OutPoint for end of fragment.
Next press F9 to insert fragment into timeline.

My way
With Duration Markers the fast workflow is:
0. Assign a shortcut to “Convert In/Out To Duration Marker”
- Browse clip in viewer
- Set in/out pair 1
- Hit the shortcut to make a Duration Marker, then optionally hit Shift+M to bring up the Edit Marker dialogue to set name, keywords, and/or marker colour.
- Repeat steps 2 & 3 for multiple other in/out pairs

File → Media Management
Entire Project → Copy
- Used media and trim keeping 30 frame handles
- Relink to new files
I got crashes with 30 frame handles, 0 frame handles helped
Changing from project to timeline and 0 frame handles fixed problem I had in fresh project but with only two move files. Unfortunately it didn’t work again and still crashed.
