user6543: In Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015 I want to select 20 or more clips to drop on the timeline at once (in this case they are audio clips).  However I would like to have a configurable space or gap between each clip on the timeline (say a 5 second space between each clip) rather than having them be one right after the other.  How can I do this?

user1950: You could generate 5 seconds of silence and do an insert edit between each one. It's pretty easy with the keyboard shortcuts - in the timeline window ↓,, ↓,, ↓, and so on

user6543: I believe I figured out a workaround to do this (based on the idea of using the speed duration from putting a gap between each clip)

Drag and drop all 20+ clips on to the timeline to add them.
Select on the clips and copy them onto a new audio track
Select all the new clips you just copied and right click and choose Speed/Duration.  Choose a setting like 50% and check Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips
Delete the clips on the new track you just copied and time stretched, leaving you with just the original clips.

The original clips should now be spaced out.  Obviously could be problematic if you have lots of other stuff on your timeline but you could lock those tracks.

user16243: The best way I've found is based off of "User" above but much simpler, no need to copy and paste:

Drag and drop all 20+ clips on to the timeline to add them.
Press 'a' and hold Shift, then click on the leftmost clip on the sequence to select all video clips to the right of the first clip on a single track.
Right click and choose Speed/Duration. Choose a setting like 95% (relatively small gap, enough to be able to set Default Transitions on multiple clips all at once using a single sequence) and check Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips. This is the important part.
Right click the selected clips again and choose Speed/Duration. Set the Speed back to 100% and uncheck Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips.
