Hello! Back in 2007, when I used Avid, I used to be able to prep for color sessions and export clean, beautiful EDLS....In 2024, is this still not the case for Premiere Pro?  I would love to know how if so. Thank you!

At about 4:15 in his video, Better Editor shows how to create the thumbnails. It is not fully automated, but much faster than creating and adding the thumbnail images individually.

Thanks for your reply Mathias, but using this to generate the csv...https://editingtools.io/editlist/     ....then simplifying in excel....The problem is nothing I have found incorporates the thumbnails automatically.  Had to screen shot every clip and implement manually into the excel spreadsheet...  Just surprised that Premiere doesnt have this standard...it's a standard professional production/post production feature in Avid...for years...and should be in Premiere by now...very surprised...but whatever, took 3 hrs..but it's done.

Better Editor created a workflow for this using my (paid) extension Automation Blocks:
