Need Help Creating Automation Blocks Script, Duplicate Sequence per Video Clip and Import to Timelin

Hi everyone, I recently discovered Automation Blocks and and I’m really impressed by what it can do!, I downloaded the demo and I'm eager to use it, but honestly, I’m struggling to wrap my head around how to set things up.

I’m trying to build a workflow or script that does the following:

 

1- Finds a bin named "videos" that contains video clips

2- Duplicates a sequence named "start" for each video in the bin

3- Renames each new sequence to match the video’s filename (without the extension)

4- Imports the corresponding video into its sequence at 10:00:00:00

 

If anyone with more experience could help me figure this out—or share an example to get me started—it would be a huge help. Thanks in advance!

Correct answer Mathias Moehl

This block script for Automation Blocks for Pr assumes that
- you have a bin "videos" with footage files

- a sequence named "start" in the root bin

 


(xml block script attached so you can place it directly in your user library)

    Thank you Mathias! That was incredibly fast. Your XML file works perfectly and is exactly what I needed.

    BTW, I also tried creating the workflow with ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, and Perplexity, but none of their output worked.

    I hope you consider integrating AI in a way that simplifies the process, making it more accessible for non technical users to create workflows in a simple way.

    Thanks again!

    Yes: https://docs.mamoworld.com/automation-blocks/forChatGPT

    This is work in progress - sometimes it works great, sometimes not.
