Matching From a Source Clip
Match Frame also works in the opposite direction. You can open a source clip into the Source Viewer that you know corresponds to a clip in the Timeline, and then you can use Match Frame to automatically find any clip in the Timeline that corresponds to media found within the source clip.
1 Open a clip in the Source Viewer that includes a range of media that’s already been edited into the Timeline. If no part of the source clip has been edited into the Timeline, source match framing won’t work.
2 Move the Source Viewer playhead to a frame that you want to find in the Timeline. Again, if the frame at the position of the playhead in the Source Viewer hasn’t already been edited into the Timeline, the Source Match Frame command won’t work.
3 Click the Match Frame button at the bottom right of the Source Viewer (it’s at the left of the In and Out buttons), or press the F key.
The Timeline playhead automatically moves to the clip and frame after the current playhead position that matches the clip in the Source Viewer.
Finding a Clip in the Media Pool Using a Timeline Clip
There are two ways you can use a clip in the Timeline to find a clip in the Media Pool.
Using a Clip in the Source Viewer to Find a Media Pool Clip
To locate the original clip in the Media Pool that corresponds to a clip in the Timeline:
1 Open a Timeline clip into the Source Viewer by doing one of the following:
— Double-click a clip in the Timeline.
— Move the playhead to a clip in the Timeline, press Shift-V to select it, then press the Return key.
2 Press Option-F to locate the source clip corresponding to the clip that’s open in the Source Viewer in the Media Pool. That clip appears highlighted in the Media Pool.
Using a Clip in the Timeline to Find a Media Pool Clip
To locate a Timeline clip’s corresponding clip in the Media Pool, right-click any clip in the Timeline, and choose Find in Media Pool from the contextual menu. That clip appears highlighted in the Media Pool.
