"automate to sequence" with Subclips in bin not respecting in-to-out boundaries

Transitioning from Avid MC. In that system I can create/drag a subcrip from the source monitor into a bin and the new subclip has the boundaries of the in & out I marked.

The same holds true for PP...except...except when I try and "automate to sequence" the conents of the bin. Then it just drops the entire clip for each into the timline without respecting the boundaries. Yet if I drag each clip one at a time? No problem. Tedious amd time consuming though.

What am I doing wrong? Does this function not do what I think it is supposed to?

Same problem here.

i made a Scene detection in a 4 min long clip to extract subclips for each take it has. Then i want to Automate to sequence all this subclips in a timeline where i previously put markers following the rithm of the music, choosing the Put in sequence markers option. It put them there, but the content of each subclip doesn´t correspond to the subclip made. So i end with lots of cuts placed right in the sequence markers but the clips show always the same extract of the master clip repeated. It is as it hasn´t respected the in and out points in each subclip. If i add them manually to the sequence, then they show the right cut, but can´t get the Automate to sequence in markers to work.

Is it there any other workaround im missing or it is just a bug? I have PPro v. 23.1.0 in Windows 10

Hi,

Why using automate to sequence ? This feature is mainly for still picture and slideshow.

Just put all your subclips in a bin. Then 2 options:

1/ You select all your subclips in the bin, right clic and choose " New sequence from clip"

2/ You select the bin and drag and drop on the " New Item" icon on the bottom right corner of your project panel. Done.

Excellent suggestions (and hello again ricklard)

Alas...the results are all the same.

I get a garbled sequence that does not reflect my subclip selections.

Here is my bin of subclips...And above is the resulting sequence if I select all and create a new sequence or drop the bin onto the new icon....super weird.

Alright...Dragging from the source monitor to a bin won't make any subclip until you press Ctrl or Command on a Mac.

There are two other way:

First one:

1/ Create a bin for your subclips

2/ Select this bin to indicate where you want your created subclips will be sent to.

3/ Make your In and Out point in the source monitor and right clic to choose Make Subclip.

The second one is quite identical but instead of right clic you can apply a shortcut to " Make Subclip" fonction so you just push a button.

So I you are an Avid user, don't forget to push Ctrl when you drag and drop from your source monitor.

Hope it helps.

I have to mention also that you are in list mode with thumbnails activated. Get rid of those thumbnails in the option of the project panel ( right clic on the name of the panel ) by desactivate "Thumbnails" and see how a subclip icon is look like. So you will be sure that it is a Sublcip and not a copy of an entire media. Also try to clean up your actual project from the duplicates you have created by using the " Consolidate duplicate" fonction in the Edit Menu.
