Can Create multicam sequence with Automation Blocks

New Here ,
Apr 08, 2025 Apr 08, 2025

Hello Automation Blocks Team,

I'm trying to create a custom Automation Blocks script in Premiere Pro to streamline a repetitive workflow I do for every project.

Here’s what I want the script to do:

  1. Automatically create 2 offline clips inside an existing bin structure:
    File > Extra > Multicam Sequences.

  2. The offline clips don't need any specific name, but they should always have the same names each time (so the script can later find and select them reliably).

  3. After creating them, the script should automatically select both offline clips (which are inside the Extra > Multicam Sequences bin, not from the "Processed Clips" bin).

  4. Then, it should create a Multicam Sequence from those two offline clips, using In Point as the sync method.

  5. Finally, once the Multicam Sequence is created, it should delete the two offline clips from the bin (so they don’t clutter the project panel).

I’m not familiar with JavaScript or programming, and this is my first time using Automation Blocks, so a visual guide or working XML example would help a lot.
