How to create multiple sequences in as few clicks as possible

Im working on a large project and looking to create multiple sequences in as few clicks as possible. I have my footage categorized into bins such as Start, Middle, End. I would like to be able to create as many unique permutations as possible from the footage. So lets say I have 5 clips of each type, that would be 125 versions.

For example...
Start Footage 1, Middle Footage 1, End Footage 1
Start Footage 2, Middle Footage 1, End Footage 1

Etc. Until all possible variations are created. I think I need a script/plugin or extension. Is there anything like this?

You will need an extension, either of your own making, or perhaps Mathias'.

This sounds like my (paid) extension Automation Blocks for Premiere Pro would be very helpful for you.

Yes, I just took a look at that. Do you have some experience using this tool for this functionality?

Is each clip in its group the same length? If so, a quick way to handle this could be by creating multicamera source sequences for each group. This way, you can duplicate a sequence and use number keys to switch between different clips.

For example, if you have a sequence with Start 1, Middle 1, and End 1, you could duplicate it five times and use number keys 1-5 to change the End clip.

Then, duplicate the sequence again, change Middle 1 to Middle 2, and duplicate this sequence five times to use number keys 1-5 to switch between different End clips.

Unfortunately not, the clips vary in legnth, and the number of clips per category can also vary. I think i need some sort of script or automation
