Hapless PLC is featured in sections of footage (5)
I believe the answer is:
clips
'sections of footage' is the definition.
'clips' can be an answer for 'footage'. I am not sure about the 'sections of' bit.
'hapless plc is' is the wordplay.
'hapless' indicates an anagram.
'plc'+'is'='plcis'
'plcis' is an anagram of 'CLIPS'.
'featured in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clips that I've seen before include "reduces" , "Cuts; fasteners" , "Trims" .)
