What is automate to sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro?

Automate to Sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro is a feature that allows users to automatically insert clips from the Project panel or the Source Monitor into the Timeline panel. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with a large number of clips or when creating a rough cut.

You can then specify the order in which the clips will be inserted (based on selection order, sort order, etc.), the placement method (at unnumbered markers, sequentially, etc.), and whether or not to ignore audio or video. Once you click OK, Premiere Pro will automatically insert the selected clips into your sequence according to your specified settings.
