3. Once the first clip is done I start to scan through it, take out portions that aren't needed and keep only the valued portions on the timeline.

What do you do with the clip that you edited? Do you export to a new video, save as project file or what?
Sorry, this wasn't perfectly clear. The individual clips are then moved to different folders based on their content. For example, a single skiing clip might have a scenic shot, a shot going up the lift, and a shot of actual skiing. I'll break that clip apart in to clean individual clips and then move them to folders that would be labeled scenic, lift shots, and skiing. This way when I go to actually create a final product everything is organized and I know where to go for what.
Doesn't your camera create individual clips? For example, a short clip of the scenery, another clip of going up on the lift, etc.After each shot don't you stop the camera?

No, many times it is action cam footage and it is mounted on someone and continuous. There can be many different shots in one clip.
