Merge scattered clips on many tracks in a sequence all into a single track or desired track.

With all these AI features added, why is there still no quick way to select a bunch of scattered clips in many sequence tracks (that are in correct timed position) to merge them all into a single track or desired track. Ideal use would be when you have a 2hr event with a lot of recorded files that aren’t recorded start to finish of event but the create multi cam feature scatters those files all into 20-30 different tracks and is such a cumbersome mess to drag them all manually onto single correct camera number track.

I've been using the 'alt' key (or option key on Mac) and then pressing the down or up arrow key on keyboard to move the selected clip up or down to the next layer for each press of the arrow key. 

 

There needs to be a away to select all the clips from that camera and auto merge onto desired track!

    I found the ‘simplify sequence’ solution which combines loose clips that are scattered onto many tracks and merges them into one.  Sequence > Simplify sequence and select Close vertical gaps on video tracks.

    But the issue with this is that you dont have control of which clips will be merge onto desired track and theres risk of clips from another camera being added into desired track. For now it works, but ideally it would be nice to be able to select the scattered clips you know you want to move into a single track and have an easy function for doing so. 

    Edit in the night play in the day.
