Bulk Changing Sequence Frame Size Premiere pro 2020/2021

[widnezz]

Part of my work is editing down a podcast and making 1 minute long clips, when I'm done cutting the clips I copy-paste them one by one into sequences, here's where the annoying process comes in, every time when I'm done cutting I have to copy all the 1920x1080 clip sequences and make them all individually 1080x1920 & one set that will be 1000x1000. Sometimes i work with up to 40 clips and changing all of them manually can take 20min+. 

So my question, is there any way to bulk change sequence Frame Size in premiere? Or does anyone have any suggestions that could make my workflow better/faster?

Thank you!

Try nesting, duplicate the nest, and then change the size of the nest.

Would this work since all the clips are in separate timelines, for me to nest them I would need to put all of them into one timeline which seems weird.

You can change one, copy the clip and then change all the others by control clicking and choosing "paste attributes."  Not exactly what you are asking for but should greatly reduce the time it takes...  and you could put them all in one sequence and then select all of them and "paste attributes" and then put each of them in their own sequence...  Makes sense?  If it's not clear post back and I'll try and go in to ore detail

@Michael Grenadier your solution is for the clip sizes themselves on the timeline. What OP is asking is how to change the sequence sizes, especially a batch of sequences. I'm experiencing the same issue.. I have had to change nearly 1000 sequences manually for a project I'm doing PIPs (Picture in Picture) for.

My improtu workaround has been cumbersome but somewhat better than manually (I open all the sequences that need their sizes changed onto the timeline, then use the hotkeys CMDT+SHIFT+Y to open sequence settings and tab three times to enter dimensions then press enter. I then press CMD+W to quit that sequence onto the next. 

I really wish there was a way to multiple select sequences in the project panel and change all sequence settings from there. I'll enter a feature request if there aren't any yet.

not sure I understand.  if you're sequence resolution is higher than your target resolution, simply batch export to the target resolution.  But this assumes that the target resolution aspect ratio matches that of the source sequences.  The OP talks about the proportions being different...  So to my mind, you'd need to adjust cropping, scaling, and position on a shot by shot basis.   Premiere does have an automated workflow for this which can be found in the sequence menu "autoreframe sequence? but in my experience, it really hasn't been that useful if your source sequence was shot 16x9 and you want to repurpose to a format suitable for viewing vertically on a smartphone...  If I'm missing something, post back with further elucidation...  (nice word isn't it).

@widnezz just wanted to nudge you and see if you found any solutions to this yet? If you'd like you can check out my response on another reply. I know it has been nearly a year but I hope it helps some.
