Can I get gaps on my timeline when I import clips based on the date/time to help align multiple cams

I filmed an event with 3 cameras (2 gopro and one Insta360 X3) at different angles that were on and off recording throughout a 4 hour period.  At times all three were going but most of the time there are long gaps where none are fliming.  

 

When I drag each cameras clips onto the premiere timeline, can I have empty gaps between clips added based on the files creation date/time?   I dont need perfect alignment since I dont have fancy timecode devices, but within the minute based on file creation date is enough where I can managed the rest of the way.

 

Just in case the above isnt explained clear enough, as an example,  lets just say there is one camera and it records from 9:00 to 9:05  then from  9:30-10:00.   I would like to drag both clips onto the timeline and have a 25 minute gap between the 2 clips on the timeline.  

 

This seems like an obvious feature for wedding videographers who may have some drone, non-time code  secondary camera footage or gopro footage (Ive seen it mentioned on FB groups).

A somewhat time-intensive option for you is to use the synchronize feature (select two clips on separate tracks, right-click, and choose Synchronize) if you have at least one continuous piece of audio-containing media.  I usually have a Tascam or two recording audio, so any clips I drop in the timeline can be synced to this.  For long shoots, the time it takes to do the syncing can be many seconds (it has to analyze all the audio to do the sync), so this may not work for you, especially if you have dozens of clips to sync.
