I see your point, and I understand. Of course, to be honest, I mix in Audition and not Premiere Pro. So it really doesn’t matter as much to me as it does to you. And I said, it would not hurt my feelings if they created a mixer for clips instead of just tracks. However, if you change your workflow just a little, it becomes irrelevant. If you use nested sequences for almost everything, then you would move the nested sequence and not the clips. It is a matter of embracing nested sequences. If you have not done that, then I understand why you feel the pain.
