Hi
Is anyone aware about a possible limit of 50 clips max that can be loaded into Source Monitor at a time?
It is said that you can load entire bin at once in Source Monitor by dragging and dropping. But when I do that
it loads only the last 50 clips.
Thanks everyone for the replies.

Never even occurred to me to try. Not sure why one would load a full large bin into the Source monitor though.
When I'm going to work a quick rough cut from a bunch of clips, rather than use the Source, I do "pancake" editing ... two sequences. Like below.
To start, take the whole bin and drag them to the "new" icon or into a blank timeline area. You now have one sequence going.
Take one clip and right-click 'New sequence from clip" and that appears as a second tab in the timeline panel, click the X so it goes away.
Find that sequence and drag it into the timeline area along the bottom and you should see those trapezoid shapes showing docking locations for new panels ... get to blue on the one on the bottom of the timeline area, and "drop". You've now got two sequences showing.
Cut the clip from the lower sequence and rename that sequence something like roughcut ... so you know what it is.
Click on the top sequence, then go to the upper left and switch panels active until you see the Reference monitor. Which should now be showing that sequence. The lower one should be in the Program monitor.
To work ... scrub through the first clip above, pick an "In" by doing Ctrl/Cmd-K, select an out by a second "k" action, click to select that section, Alt/drag it to the lower sequence. Click back on upper sequence and work your way down the line.
I'm home sick so I hope I didn't leave something out, but I think that's complete. the first couple times it takes maybe a minute to get it to work, after that, seconds.

I'm with Neil from 2017, why would you want to? On and update note, the Reference monitor Neil references 🙂 Is going to be removed from PP pretty soon. Premiere Beta

I'm one of the (apparently) few bummed about losing the Reference monitor. Ah well ...
For what arturos is saying, they would probably be served by taking the entire bin to a sequence, going into "pancake" mode, and doing their quick cuts then drop the sections down to the lower "working" sequence.

I have never use the Reference monitor dont see the point of draging, and the reason in want more than that limit of 51, is just that i have a bunch of files always, B-roll mostly, that i need to do in and outs, marks, so what i do i load all in Source and whith a shortcut go trough them to the next one, but with that limit i have to count 51clips, load it again.

Even if you don't like pancake editing. But you could have all those clips in a sequence and "whith a shortcut go through them to the next one", seems better and faster.

But how do you send it to the other comp without draging?, because loading 50 clips in the source monitor and then using inserts or overwrite i fell is still much faster, i belive people understimate the power or working fast in the source monitor.

Might want to put all the clips in one sequence
Open sequence in source monitor
then go to the wrench and open sequence in timeline.
Now you can easily scrub all clips and perform a pancake editing
