Īt this point, you’re probably not that impressed. Paste (ctrl+V or cmd+V) your clip and you’ll see it appear on the V2 track in your sequence. Jump to the beginning of your sequence and move the video track target to “V2”. Since we’re interested in finding a specific clip in this stringout, start scrubbing until you find what you’re looking for, Select the entire clip that you’re interested in, right click, and copy (ctrl+C or cmd+C). Editors like to call these types of sequences ‘stringouts’ and they make it much easier to scrub through large amounts of footage very quickly. This sequence has every clip in it that you had previously selected. Premiere Pro then creates a new sequence – with the same name as the clip you right clicked – that matches that clip’s settings (frames per second, resolution, etc).

Next, select all of the footage clips you want to look through, right click, and select “Make New Sequence From Clip”. Name it ‘footage’ or ‘clips’ or ‘jelly beans’ – something that’s at least marginally descriptive to what you’re digging through.

To start, open up Premiere Pro and make a new bin (ctrl+B or cmd+B). But what can you do? Jump over to Premiere Pro, that’s what.
