Question

Can you automate to sequence using subclips or subsequences?

I am working on a project where I need to take a long source video, chop it up, and re-edit it so the cuts happen on beat with music. I was thinking I can do this by making subsequences of each clip, then automating it to markers, but automate to sequence is greyed out when I select subclips or subsequences. I tested it and it works fine with normal clips. Is there a better way to do what I am trying to do?

    Im having similar issue, in my case i can automate to sequence in markers, but the clips shown are not the sublips i made (with scene detection), but the same in and out pont all the time, so its not respecting the in and out points of each subclip. If ai add them manually to the sequence then all of them show the right cut, but cant get it working right with Automate to sequence. Liked to know if its a bug or something.

      I have a similar issue, I am creating social cuts of videos i made, I use scene edit detect to create a folder of subclips, then I can't use the Automate to Sequence for the the sublips as they all just show from frame 1 of the original clip. I have markers set out on my social version timeline all ready to go but subclips don't keep their in & out data when used this way.... as a work around I choose all subclips in the bin, right click, choose export media. I then render all subclips into a folder, import that folder of clips (identical to subclips) and then Automate to sequence will work with those clips. It's an annoying extra few steps. If anyone knows how to make subclips retain in & out points for Automate to Sequence please reach out 🙂

        This might be something that the BeatEdit plugin might do.
