Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
'Projects' dont feel like projects.
If I record a longer section of footage, there is not a good way to create separate gifs from it.
The workflow I have to use is to save the project, open it, delete a section of footage, do all the processing I want to it, then save the gif I want. I might save a separate sub project there in case I need to edit it. Then I have to reopen the original project or undo my way back to it.

Describe the solution you'd like
If I could define multiple outputs and have those outputs select from certain frames.
Saving offshoot projects feels space inefficient a lot of the time

Describe alternatives you've considered
Taking footage multiple times can be tedious when I'm trying to create similar gifs using similar footage.
Saving the 'whole' footage as a gif and importing that, but this doesn't feel meaningfully better than saving a separate project.

Additional context
Screen to Gif is great. I use it a lot and enjoy it most of the time!

Hello, I'm aware of the issues with the way that the app handles projects.
It will work differently in v3.

The exporter will have a snapshot of the project, and each of its options (trim, resize, crop, speed, framerate, etc.) will not change the captured content at all, only its presentation.

As for v2, you can export parts of the recording without having to cut and undo by using the "Partial export" option.
