"New sequence from clip" for multiple clips

[Grumshow]

I've been looking for a quicker way to nest a collection of files individually into their own separate sequences, as the images show below.

The quickest way I could find was to individually select each one, and press CMD+Shift+N. For larger collections of footage this is still quite time consuming.

Selecting them all and clicking "New sequence from clip" just makes one sequence with all the clips in order.

Is there a function in Premiere to do this with one click/shortcut?

No there is no auto option, but why do you want each clip in its own sequence.

[Grumshow]

A number of reasons. In this instance I want to add colour correction and tweaks to each separately. If I added it to just a video clip I would have to add the colour correction on each instance of the clip, and if I made changes I would need to change each individually.

Another instance would be to add an audio track recorded separately to the video for each. Changing the audio track for each instance of a clip would again be a large manual task.

I suppose I could look into making a premiere script to do it.

That is what Master clip is al about.

CC the master clip and all instances on the timeline will be correcte also.

Apply effects to all instances of a clip |

That will work only for effects and not sound or if I added a layer over the top. So in this case it will work but its not particularly flexible across the board.

I'm not sure why Adobe created something like master clip for what is essentially solved by nesting or in after effects; precomposing.

Thanks for your input.

To do what I specifically want to do for every case and not just this one I will need to write a script.

hi folks, I've posted / requested a feature for this - please take a look:

Ability to create Multiple Sequences from Multiple Clips – Adobe video & audio apps

I have a typical use-case, where I get a bunch of splits from an audio mixer. The delivery spec sheet for the vendor im sending files to (specifically AMC Networks) has a very specific request that in addition to video deliverables, that you also send splits as separate WAV/AIFF files with 2 frames of silence on the front and back of the file. In an ideal world, I could just select all of the splits in my bin, select "Create New Sequence(s) from Clips", and each selected clip would be put into its own discrete sequence, with the same name as the clip. From there I could do the necessary trimming required for export.

After Effects has had the option of doing this for at least 20 years. Would be nice if Premiere could do the same.
