Feature Request: Batch Merge Clips by Matching Timecode

Hello Adobe Premiere Pro Team,

I would like to request a feature that would greatly improve workflows for productions that use dual-system sound.

Currently, Merge Clips requires users to manually select each video clip and its corresponding audio clip one pair at a time. This becomes extremely time-consuming when working with hundreds of video and WAV files.

Requested feature:

- Automatically match video and audio clips by identical timecode.
- Batch create Merge Clips (or synchronized clips) for all matching pairs in a project with a single command.
- Optionally display a report for unmatched clips.

This workflow already exists in other professional NLEs and is especially valuable for film, television, and documentary productions.

Adding this feature would save editors a significant amount of time and make Premiere Pro a much stronger choice for large-scale post-production workflows.

Thank you for considering this request.

DON’T use Merge Clips! 

 

That is listed as dumping all audio metadata from the resulting item.

 

As stated, use the intended tool, the Multicam process, for all joined audio/video processes.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Why not use the multi-cam feature? It does all of these things.
