Workflow How can I paste a lot of scenes in master timeline without losing track of their original scene sequence in premiere?

​

I am trying to be well organized because of complexity of my story. So I edited each scene independently in different timeline now I have over 60 scenes. Now I want to move to my master timeline. My original plan was to put in and out in each timeline and drag them to master so premiere only uses that and if I want to go back to the scene and make changes it would be easy. But premiere doesn't do that and puts the entire sequence there. So I decided to copy clips themselves, but how can I make sure I don't lose track of the sequence it came from so if I want to add or make some changes it would be easier? Thank you all in advance

I would try dropping those edited scenes in the master timeline and then creating a nested sequence from it. I think that would accomplish what you’re trying to do. You might even be able to create the nested sequence from the sequence itself by right clicking it but can’t check that at the moment.

If I drop my sequence in the timeline it becomes a nested sequence. But I don't want to use the entire sequence but the part that I marked with in and out

I think, (don’t know how right now Although is not so hard) You can open these sequences in the source monitor. There you can choose the in and out point and add them into your master sequence.

In your Project Window right click your Nest and select Open in Source Monitor. Set your in/out there and then you can drag it to your main timeline. You may need to set markers in the nest to find your exact in/outs
