Please add back the context menu item to export video clips from a segmented video track

Describe the new feature: It would be nice to be able to segment the video track of an imported file and export the individual pieces as needed into different video files for clipping in different projects.

Describe the solution you'd like: I want to be able to use the 'slice' context menu option, and then click on any of the pieces that result from it and use a context menu item to export either the piece i have selected or all of them into separate video clips so they can be used in further projects.

Describe alternatives you have considered: Using ffmpeg to extract the pieces, carefully recording the start time and duration, which is tedious.

On a personal note, please stop undoing good work that has already been finished. I had suggested previously just routing the pieces through the video export option which required a secondary step and it was slightly buggy but it would be easy enough to just tie and ffmpeg call into the process and visually sample the start times and durations of the original clip and pass those along with the filename into the necessary parmeters of ffmpeg.

Kind of sick of people resetting things for no valid reason.
