Fastest Native Premiere Workflow for Pulling Selects from a Stringout to Another Sequence?
I’ve been developing a workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro for pulling selects from a dailies stringout sequence into a separate selects timeline, and I’m curious whether anyone has found a cleaner, fully native Premiere solution.
My workflow:
- I work directly inside a long stringout sequence of dailies
- I scrub, set In/Out on the timeline over a portion I like
- I want to quickly send that marked range into a separate “Selects” sequence
- I do not want to constantly Match Frame / Source Monitor / overwrite from source
- I also don’t want to manually copy, click another sequence tab, paste, click back, repeat hundreds of times
I discovered that timeline In/Out + copy/paste works pretty well if nothing is selected, but the repetitive sequence switching became a bottleneck.
So I built a Keyboard Maestro macro that now does:
- Copy selected In/Out range from stringout timeline
- Pause briefly
- Toggle to second open sequence tab
- Paste at playhead
- Pause briefly
- Toggle back to stringout sequence
- Continue working
It works extremely well and is honestly very fast. But I’m just thinking that if possible, I’d like to be able to do this without needing to rely on an outside program such as Keyboard Maestro. I’m wondering if I can achieve this within Premiere totally.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the Keyboard Maestro macro so you can see exactly what it’s doing.
Has anyone found a way to achieve something similar entirely inside Premiere?
Thanks folks!
