Thanks for the sad news…

SAD news indeed. Essentially I want to:
1. Start with a sequence of clips ( approx. 200 STILL PHOTOS – 3 minutes long.)
2. Nest them into one long sequence
3. Reduce the nested sequence by a fixed percentage, (say 38.27%).
4. Then maybe CLONE this shortened, nested sequence somehow.
5. And then De-nest it into a bunch of NEW shortened individual clips if need be.
6. Even if if these new shortened clips were somehow saved to the media library and I had to drag them into a brand new shorter sequence – that would be a big time victory over individually shortening each clip.

The object is a very fast moving EDM music video. The images are now timed in a sequence to match a work version of the audio track. The finished audio track has exactly the same musical structure but is performed much faster than the work version. If I can shrink the sequence images to match the length of the final audio I will be “close enough for jazz” and can ripple edit here and there if needed.

Otherwise, square one city.

Thanks for your help I appreciate your efforts.-
