Is there a way for PP to automatically create a sequence matching the TC of a bunch of clips and then place in that sequence at the corresponding TC? Like "Auto-Sequence" in Avid.

I'm not entirely sure I'm interpreting your requirements properly, so apologies if this is not the solution you seek.

Try this: For each camera select all the clips and right click. Choose "Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence". Choose Timecode and tick "create single multicam source sequence".

Part 1 finished.

Part 2: Right Click the created multicam sequence and choose "Simplify Sequence". Tick only "Flatten Multi-Camera clips".

The new sequence should be just like Avid's Auto Sequence for that camera.

If you do that for each camera you can fairly easily work all camera's into a sequence that has all angles in sync but isn't a multicam sequence.

This is what I want to be able to do for say a 3 camera shoot and it's taken me an age to find a way to do it in Premiere.

This is my workaround as well. But would still like the equivalent feature of Avid's Autosequence for Ppro.

Why is this still not implemented? It's a huge PITA that this is still not possible as of Feb. 2025...

I came back here in 2023 to find an answer to that question and it seems to still have not been made into an option yet.

This is a necessary option to naviage through footage before anything can happen and it would save a lot of time in Editorial.

Agreed. I've been checking back regularly for this feature which I use in Avid for documentary editing. It's especially helpful in laying down a stringout timeline of dailies for verité scenes, where often Time of Day timecode is used.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't know of anyway to do that, but ... maybe someone else does ...

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Trying to figure out your question ... so you have a bunch of clips with jammed timecode, you want them to automagically be placed on a timeline (which is the multicam process in Premiere) ... and want the timeline to be the time-code of the clips, right?

Hey Neil, Let's say I have a bunch of clips. The first clips TC is 10:14:07:00 and the following clips have TC starting after that. I want to select all my clips, have PP create a sequence starting with 10:14:07:00 and for PP to place each clip in that sequence were the clip TC and sequence TC match. It lays them out according to TC.

Select the clips and sort the clips in the bin by Media Start. Drag the clips to the New Item icon or right click on the clips and choose New Sequence From Clip. This works here.
