how to batch select 1 minute of several videos and put it in one single sequence

Hello,

I have 26 videos of 3 minutes.

I would like to create a sequence made of 1 minute of each of the 26 videos (so a sequence of 26 minutes).

How Premiere Pro can do it automatically (batch selection of 1 minute of each video and put it in one single sequence) ?

1- Select all videos and drag to timeline

2- Select all videos on the timeline, right click --> speed duration

3- Unlink speed and duration

4- set your duration to 1 min

Hello,

I have used "speed duration" function and set it to 1minutes 30. It works perfectly for me.

Please see the screenshot (here is a test of 2 videos only instead of 26) :

 

 

Could you advise me how to remove automatically the blank space between elements, for all elements at the same time ?

Ok, about using "speed duration" function, as the videos were of 3 minutes and as I have changed the duration to 1minute 30 seconds, in the timeline I have blank spaces between videos.

But I have just found the solution to remove blank space between elements : menu "sequence" then "close gap".

    Alas no way to do that.

    Besides, how is Premiere going to know which 1 minute to select from a 3-minute clip.

    Trimming each clip is the way to go

    but if you insist on some sort of automation:

    You can import all clips as a multi cam sequence.

    Clips will be stacked on top of each other. Trim them all back to 1 minute in one go.

    Position them on the timeline.

      Hi Ann,

      My goal is to select the first minute of each of the 26 videos and add it to a single sequence.

      How to do it as efficiently as possible ?

      The multicam workflow I describe earlier.
