Best Way to Get Multiple (3) Projects Out of One Event? Beginner Type Question

I use FCP at beginner level. I've principally used it to edit single clips. I start a new event, and a new project and import a video into the project. I usually edit it, trim etc and export.

Today for the first time, I have a long video I took, 1 hour, and I would like to get multiple short videos out of it. There has to be a better way than I know how. I would trim all the video away to make one clip then start a new project add the original video and trim away to next clip I need, and so on.

I am hoping there is a way to have one event and then be able make 3 clips (projects) out of the same video.

I hope the way I am explaining this makes sense. It is hard to explain well when you have a low level of skill.

You could duplicate the original project as many times as you need, and then trim away the sections you don’t want for the shorter versions.

Thank you. This worked perfectly - as you knew it would - and I've successfully created three clips out of my one video. On to Rumble!
