A file is created for each clip. Each clip contains the complete

There are no in/out points set within the clip at that stage, so your
next point sort of holds true...

The point I'm trying to make is, what if there is an intended or
unimportant camera stop in the 'scene' - from what you imply there
will be two scenes and not just the one that a manual / batch capture
would produce. I know it's a rare situation but what I'm talking about
is having complete control of the process.

Given that I don't tend to edit on the camera[1], each captured clip is
the scene that I recorded, including header and trailer. There is never
an intended (or unintended) stop in the middle. If there was, it would be
a wasted shot, because I'd have a gap! I suppose the only exception to
this would be if I did a time lapse sequence, but my amatuer camera
doesn't really do that very well.

[1] By that I mean that I won't shoot one part of a scene, and then go
straight into another hoping that the cut on the camera is the right one.
