Multi-cam/original source clips automatically removed

The default setting shouldn't be that all the source clips are automatically removed after making multi-cam clips. I have now learned that there is a setting to avoid having this happen, and that should be the default. Often, there are mistakes when using the automation process to make multi-clips, but for some reason undo doesn't get you back to the state before the multi-clips were made so you have to reimport all those files again as far as I can tell. This could be a disaster for someone who is not perfectly organized.

As that's an option in the dialog, it's something that is set each time. Like numerous other options the the many options for creating a multicam. It takes a bit of working with it to actually get the full implications of every option down.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

I've since learned that the clips are moved into another bin (that is automatically created) rather than deleted, but I still don't think this should be the default.
