Can (Reverse) Match Frame' find the same frame in two diff clips?
Short Wording:
If I’ve 2 identical clips in my Project Panel/same bin created from the same master clip, named Clip-1 and Clip-1b. Is there any way if I want to find any one particular frame of Clip-1 in Clip-1b?
Long wording:
I inserted clip-1 on Sequence-1, commanded Sequence> Match Frame, and the frame under Cti was loaded in the Src Pnl. Now I deleted clip-1 from Seq1 and inserted clip-1b onto the same seq-1. And now I highlighted Src Pnl (it still has the frame showing from my earlier command). And commanded Sequence> Reverse Match Frame. Now should it/will it locate the frame my current clip-1b showing in the TL?
If not, is there any other way to find and match a frame in 2 diff clips in the same project?

How to find this frame of Clip-kaka1 showing in the Src Pnl, in the TL (which has Clip Kaka2 loaded onto it) Both kaka1 and kaka2 clips are identical in every way, and exist in same bin, same project.
I was expecting to use ‘Reverse Match Frame’, but that isn’t working.
I’m trying to be as clear in what I’m asking, as possible.

Hey Bathinda,
I would suggest that you generate a multi-cam from the two clips, which should line them of for you (you can open the Multi-cam in a Time-Line).
Once lined up, it will be easy for you to find the matching frames.
The other option is to check whether the camera operators locked their cameras together, and recorded the same timecode?

Thanks. It is clear that I was thinking wrong that PP either scans all clips and each frame in its memory (silly of me!).
Next I thought that since both child/sub clips were carved out of one master clip. PP would know about their frames similarity. (I thought somehow it’d know which frame is where, but again, after reading your answer, I felt so childish). But hey, you suggested a good work around.
But for anyone coming on this thread again:
Summary: Reverse Match Frame command can only find a frame from the same clip from which the Source Pnl has the frame loaded at this moment. Not 2 clips can be searched for one unique frame in this way!! -
Hey Bathinda,
You are doing absolutely fine, just keep going.
Knowledge is what will keep making you better at what you do.Atb
