Move multiple clips at once

So I accidentally figured out that you can move multiple clips or graphics at once, just as long as there's a nested sequence in what you select. You just have to create any nested sequence, doesn't have to be related at all, put it on top of what you need to move together, select everything, move it, and then delete the subsequence if you don't need it. That way you can rotate, change position, anchor point, and scale all layers. It doesn't really make sense but it works. Davinci does this easily and I can't wait to finish this project and go back.

Thank you for the quick fix! Abhorrent that this still isn't a feature. I might have to switch video editors going forward.

I think I've been doing the same thing, as least as far as I understand it, by using the group setting.

Is that not a similar thing?

its unbelivable this feature still not added for 10 years, how come other answers are just apologies and told us to move on using another app...

Grouping clips doesn't work? 

2024 Still not a feature, honestly ridiculous.

Selecting and nudging source clips on multiple video Tracks is a great feature request.  I hope you voted for it.

While we have Premiere Pro, After Effects, Media Encoder, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Adobe Fonts, and FrameIO on the Adobe side, there's Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, and Logic on the Apple side.  

So, there are still multiple applications with Apple as well, but they're each a one-time purchase if that is important.

Told my workplace to switch to Final Cut Pro. Sadly it's not an overnight process and I still have a deadline. But this will be the last time that I have to move each clip one by one. Adobe decided that they will make more money by forcing people to use multiple programs. They're literally insulting their own customers by doing this. If you're going to have to learn a new program, learn one from a company that doesn't constantly insult you as a consumer. And this is coming from the biggest Apple hater. I just hate Adobe more at this point. Enjoy losing the thousands of dollars that my employer was paying you. Hopefully others follow suit. 

If you're desperate for a quick fix, this is what worked for me. The sequence I needed to move was full of various sized clips, animations within Premiere and graphics with unique motion. Thankfully I just needed to slide everything down a little bit.

1. Highlight the clips you need to move, right click and create a Nested Sequence.

2. Go into the Nested Sequence by double clicking it.

3. Within the Nested Sequence, change the sequence settings to a higher resolution, but be sure to preserve your aspect ratio. In my case I went from 1920x1080 16:9 to 3840x2160 16:9.

4. Uncheck the "Scale motion effects proportionally when changing frame size" box.

5. Now you will have a little more room to move your Nested Sequence, you can increase it's scale on your main timeline and have some edges to work with.

It's not perfect but it saved me on a job recently. I will second others in saying that creating an AE sequence is very problematic, namely cross-dissolves and audio do not play nicely between the two programs, not to mention color space issues when working with mixed media. That workflow has its merits, but I would prefer something similar to the "Transform" effect in Premiere that allows you to apply essentially another "Motion" effect that has uniform parameters across all clips despite their current "Motion" settings. 

Hope this helps.

Im having the exact same problem, i just want to drag several layers i imported from photoshop to a new placement on the screen (not timeline) and i cant select more than one object at a time.. i need to mainting relation to each other so i need to move them all at once.
