NESTED SEQUENCE SHOULD NOT CHANGE NAME OF ORIGINAL

I am editing a documentary, I have several synced up sequences, some are longer than 1 hour.  I am seeking the best way to utilize nested sequences to make the master edit, however, currently in Premier, when we make a nested sequence, we are FORCED, to name the nest, then the nest AUTOMATICALLY, changes the name of the original clip...WHY?  That makes no sense!.  The original clip name should never change, unless I want to do it.  

This workflow could be so much smoother, yet currently it is clunky.  There should be a way to create multiple short nested exported clips into a bin, then import those nested clips into a new timeline WITHOUT renaming and corrupting the original file.  

As it is, it seems the only way to do this is to copy and paste, which is so 1980’s, and takes away the cool functionality of a nested sequence.  

This process, I propose harkens back to film days with trim bins, while utilizing the functionality of the nested sequence.  

At present, while the current system may work for some, it’s lacking serious  potential functionality that I think would really benefit many.

 

Please don’t say yeah but … or make excuses.  Please consider this as an option, I am happy to explain further, rather than being dismissed.

 

Thank you

Jimmy
