Question

A keyboard shortcut to select all files in a specific bin from the main project panel

Is there a fast way / keyboard shortcut / option that I can set a shortcut to, for me to Select All files inside a specific bin in my project panel?

I want to be able to select all the files inside a folder so I can drop them into the timeline.

NO. Droping the bin itself doesn't do it, because it changes the order of the files using the myserious sorting of Premiere instead of the simple ABC of windows, which forces me to go over each folder and do it manually.

And NO. I don't want to open the bin in seperated tab / window, then Ctrl+A, then close that window. It will be as time consuming and selecting the first file, then Shift, then the last file. I'm looking a "one click" option.

I have a long list of files inside each bin and the scrolling is annoying.

I searched on google and youtube and Adobe help and when over the keyboard shortcuts in PP and I couldn't find this kind of option.

If anyone knows of a way, it would save me a lot of time.

Thanks in advance.

It's been a year but if you haven't found it yet, it's selecting the first clip go to the very end,and select the last clip in the bin WHILE pressing on shift, you're welcome 🤗

Thank you, but when I say a "keyboard shortcut" I mean 1-click action. Yes, I know I can select the first file, then scroll down and with shift select the last file and all files will be selected, that's normal windows behavior and I've mentioned using this method (I still use it today). But I want with a single action to select all the files in a bin, while I have several bins in my main project. Something like double click on the bin or Ctrl+A while that bin is in focus. That does not exist in Pr to my knowledge.

Thanks anyway 🙂

You dont need to select, just drag the bin to the timeline or to the New Item Icon for a new sequence.

No, there's no way to select a bin and move all to the timeline from the timline panel. Selecting the fist clip, then Select-All, will typically load them onto the timeline in the order they appear in the bin. That's not working for you?

Yes you can drag a bin from the project window onto the timeline or into the New Item Icon.

I have no issues, all clips are in the correct order.

All i can say: trash preferences.

Dragged the bin into the New Item Icon.

Which version are you using?

I need all the files from all the folders in the same one sequence. So dragging them to the new item icon doesn't do it.

I need to drop the files from a folder into the timeline, then set a marker at the end, then drop another list of files, ripple delete, set a marker at the end etc etc. ~50 projects, ~40 folders in each, droping one by one. Scrolling down a LOT each time is annoying and time consuming.

I'm using 22.0.0 but it's a known behavoir, I don't think it's a version thing.

The sample you sent doesn't have many files with variaty of names.

I tried, believe me, it doesn't work.

That's where I found the solution of selecting the files manually:
