New Bin From Selection moves the new bin into the root of the project

Thanks Stan, glad to know it's not just me!

On the two-step process, I get that it's happening behind- the-scenes in two steps, but as a user, it's one button press and one intended action, so for me the desired and expected undo would be one button press. Realistically, I can't imagine anyone wanting to revert back a half step in the process to the point where premiere has created a new bin but hasn't put the items in a bin, that just doesn't seem helpful.

On a side note, one thing that I really love in After Effects extendscript is the ability to create an undogroup before actions are taken. On the premiere scripting side, every action taken in a script ends up being it's own undo.

Upvoted. I can replicate, including your clever finding that it is the presence of a bin in the selection that changes the new bin location. And I agree that the expected behavior would be for the bin to be created in the bin that contains the selection.

I'll observe first that this "create bin from selection" is a two step shortcut. It first creates a bin, and then it MOVES the items to the new bin. So logically, it is a two-step undo (as can be seen looking in the history panel).

When it creates the new bin, and there is a bin as part of the selection, for whatever reason, it creates it at the root rather than in the bin that contains the selection.

The workaround is to create the bin manually when you need to move a bin as part of the selection items.

All good, thanks Kevin, I appreciate it! 

I updated the status of this bug report.

@Todd_Reeder as you were very helpful the last time I had a bug to report, I just wanted to bump this one as it's one that I've encountered for the past 2 or 3 big releases.

Thanks!

I figured out how to replicate the behavior. If your selection contains a bin, then the new bin created will be created at the root of the project. If your selection only contains clips, then the new bin will be created in the parent bin.
