FCP Logging Question

Sorry if this comes off as a rookie/newbie question, but I was wondering if there was a way of setting FCP to automatically split clips along DV Start/Stop marks. Not capture an entire tape and then have the DV marks submenu in the bin, but rather get the individual clips you get from logging (as well as the auto-updating clip names) but have FCP make these clips automatically (like iMovie does when it detects splits, except with the added bonus of keeping the clip names consistent). I'm currently having to watch entire tapes twice, which is time consuming--basically I'm trying to expedite the process. Am I overlooking a real simple workflow/button/setting here, or am I just hoping for the moon when I should be glad I have cheese?

Sorry, I don't know anything about this. If you don't get a good answer by tomorrow send me a PM and I'll talk to the pros back at my college.

Thanks. I've got roughly 35 hours of footage to log and capture, and the prospect of that time doubling due to having to re-watch everything is not something I'm dying to do.

This is primarily for HDV but there's a line about how to make it happen for DV.

Basically, capture a full tape, open it in your Viewer, go Mark>DV Start/Stop Detect.

Your entire tape will have markers that you can click and they'll appear in the Viewer as separate clips. There's a way to do it that they turn into separate clips in the bin... I think... but I don't know it...

Wait, is there a way to do this in Premiere Pro?
