Hi there,
my name is Alex and I run a small Youtube channel where I feature highlights of recent sporting events.
I use several slideshows & openers from videohive which allow me to simply insert stills and video clips in sequences (Placeholders) with predetermined transitions and effects, basically providing a drag & drop experience.
Example: https://videohive.net/item/modern-slideshow/21489044
Manually adding footage to such a slideshow which on average has around 40-50 of those placeholders can be very exhausting.
I have managed to speed up the process by moving the playhead all the way to the left on them, and allocating a shortcut for "insert" and "next seq in timeline", which allows me to select an image/video with the mouse, while both inserting it and moving to the next sequence via shortcuts.
That has saved me some time, but I would still like to automate the process further.
What I want is the ability to select 40-50 clips arranged in whatever order necessary, and distribute them all among those 40-50 placeholder sequences at the click of a button.
I have been experimenting with the "Automate to sequence" feature in Premiere, and while it seems to do exactly what I want, I don't think it works with multiple sequences, but only the current one selected.
Any ideas?
Edit: I use Premiere Pro CC 2018 with the latest updates.
Thank you in advance!
