Normally when you multi-select clips in the bin and do a drag action to the timeline, they're aligned horizontally...one after another.
It would be great if, while dragging, if you hold shift, the clips offer to insert themselves vertically, stacked one on top of another.
The major use case for this is when adding 8 mono tracks to the timeline in a picture finishing scenario. Currently it's very tedious to add 8 mono tracks, one by one.
If you could select all 8 tracks in the bin, start to drag them, press shift, you could plop all 8 clips onto 8 tracks all at once, all in sync.
This would also be helpful for certain video compositing tasks.
For instance, if you have a background plate and foreground plate, or multiples of either, all of which have the same duration. If you could multiselect them in the bin, hit shift to arrange "vertically stacked," you could plonk them down as a perfectly in-sync stack, ready for Fusion.
