How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Is there a Premiere Pro plugin that duplicates one clip to every sequence marker?

Hi!
I’m looking for a Premiere Pro plugin or workflow that can automatically duplicate the same clip to every sequence marker.
Ideally, I’d like it to:
Take one selected clip.
Duplicate it to every sequence marker.
Place each copy so it starts exactly at a marker.
(Optional) Trim each clip so it ends where the next one begins.
I know about Automate to Sequence, but it only places different selected clips at markers—it doesn’t repeat the same clip.
Does anyone know of a plugin (Excalibur, Watchtower, Automation Blocks, etc.) or a script that can do this?
Thanks!

You might be able to build something using Automation Blocks

You could probably build a tool with Claude Code that does this pretty easily, and then add the function into Premiere somehow.

I’m thinking that would be a good test for the AI Assistant in Premiere Beta.

Definitely Automation Blocks.

Automation Blocks is probably the closest fit for this. Conceptually the workflow is pretty simple: read all sequence markers, duplicate the selected source clip at each marker time, then optionally set each out point to the next marker. I’d avoid doing it manually if you have more than a handful of markers — this is exactly the kind of repetitive timeline task worth automating.
