Hallo zusammen, auch wenn ich seit über 25 Jahren Videos semi-professionell bearbeite, habe ich erst vor einigen Wochen Codec-bedingt angefangen mit Premiere Pro zu arbeiten; das Programm war mir im Vergleich zu sperrig von der Bedienung her.
Nun habe ich schon recht viele Projekte geschnitten und möchte die Clips (pro Sequenz) in der Zeitleiste nun vollkommen frei anordnen.
Pro Sequenz habe ich so im Durchschnitt 50-100 Takes/Clips. Die sind nun in der Reihenfolge, wie damals gefilmt wurde. Da ich in der klassischen Zeitleistenansicht von Premiere nicht alle Clips auf einmal überblicken kann, um zu entscheiden, wo ich jeweils welche Clips wo anders hinhaben möchte, benötige ich dazu eine Art Kachelansicht, wie ich sie von anderen Videoschnittlösungen kenne. Da habe ich Thumbnails von allen Clips in einer großen Übersicht, wo ich ganz einfach die Thumbnails egal wohin verschieben kann.
Wie bekomme ich das bei Premiere hin?

Warren's right. Use the Freeform view of the project panel, and you can set the size of thumbnails as you wish, drag/drop to reorder, stack them overlaying each other, all sorts of things.

Use the key in your language that makes the panel full screen, and it's a great way to story-board your clips.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Thanks @R Neil Haugen
Please read my answer to Warren.
Premiere causes a lot of more work in comparison to other video editing solutions.
Why not sort the clips INCLUDING ALL individuell effects per clip into an free varation?
The freeform view might help for clips without any effects. Or did I something wrong?

Personally I'd dragging the clips to a blank/new sequence. Use Q and W shortcuts for trimming "top & tail" , Q cuts from the playhead to first frame of the clip and doe a ripple delete closing the gap to the preceeding clip.

W cuts from the current frame of the playhead to the end of the clip, also doing the ripple delete to close the gap.

Then I would apply Warp if necessary. And as Warp is the single heaviest resource hogging effect, render & replace to a new clip. I don't like Warp risking messing up during the export.

Then I'd do color work. If all from the same camera in same scene, grade the first clip, copy/paste to the others.

My workflow is similar like yours. I work also with own shortcuts on my keyboard in order for very fast cutting the clips in first step.
In my case my main camera is sometimes very various on each clip in whitebalance/color. Or some clips change in lightness/contrast. So I have to adjust them using keyframes. It is easy done on Premiere.
So I can't use a general color grading/adjustments for all clips.
Only e.g. for my DJI Drone I could use on general adjustment for all clips. Meanwhile DJI has for me the best colors/constrast/brightness in comparison to other cameras.

Hi Home video,

Welcome to the community! To ensure we understand the question correctly, are you looking for a thumbnail view in the Project panel or the video thumbnails of the clips in the timeline? Let us know, we're here to help.

Hi @Sumeet Kumar Choubey,

thanks, to welcome me!
No, it is not a thumbnail view only (I have that already in the timeline per Clip):
I want a thumbnail view like e.g. in Windows Explorer and want to free arrange the clips out of the timeline.
In e.g. Magix Video X Pro is such a function, there all clips are shown on the special thumbnail view.
In this thumbnail view I can easy drag + drop each video clip to another position.
With the given timeline view in Premiere Pro this isn't really possible to re-arrange around 40-60 clips per sequenz.
