Hi,

The "Save Clip" feature allows to save a timeline clip with its effects as 
an MLT playlist. There was a bug that I just fixed that prevented it from 
working, should be ok now.

Well there is no real benefit, it is an older feature and in fact, it 
duplicates the "Timeline > Save Selection" feature, so I guess I should 
simply remove it...
