It’s not really automatic. You put in your markers. Put the playhead between a pair of markers and press Control-A (Mark to Markers) to put I/O into the sequence and then edit in the shot you want. Repeat for the next pair of markers. Hardly automatic.
You might want to go to Feedback and write it up in detail as a feature request. Don’t just say the way it’s done in Premiere. The applications’ functionalities are different so you have to explain exactly what you want using FCP’s way for working.
All the best,
Tom
