Can you create a new sequence using the video timecode?

Hey!
Can you create a new sequence using a imported clips timecode?
We have a bunch of interview footage where we need to transcript and translate everything. I know you can use multicam for this, but this does not work when you just want the timecode from a single video file. Are you supposed to manually change the timecode of the sequence or is there a more effective way of doing it?

Thanks in advance.

    See this discussion: Automation Blocks - create individual timelines from selected clips

    Does that one solve your issue?
    Just select your interview footage clip in the project panel and run the Automation Blocks script from that discussion. It will create a new sequence for the clip, insert the clip and match the timecode of the sequence to the clip’s timecode.
