How can I match back from sub-clip to Master Clip?

[Alex Udell]

Hey…

don’t know that you can….but depending on what you are tying to do…you may not have to….

once you’ve match from the sequence to the source viewer…

check the menus CLIP>Edit Subclip

you can adjust/remove subclip constraints or convert it to its own master…

that help?

Thanks Alex,

That almost works. My needs here are probably unusual in that I’m working with viz-code clips without actual timecode. I want to be able to make sub-clips that I can trace back to master-clip (names) and know where they came from. The technique you suggest gets me back to the footage but if I’m trying to do an inventory of what master clips I’ve used, having the file name would really help and I don’t have that.

No fault of yours but this is so easy to do in Avid & FCP, it’s the first real complaint I’ve had with Premiere.

Best,

Paul

I agree….this should be in the software.

curious…can you reveal from the sub clip in the project panel to the explorer/finder (OS)?

Thanks, that would work bit how? I know how to reveal in project but how does one reveal location of the sub-clip (parent) in the Finder?

right click it the project panel? worked for me….

also…you’ll notice you can add file path in the metadata display so it shows as a column in the project panel…. all the subs would obvious relate to the same filename…so then t does become searchable in the project panel as well…

not ideal…but acceptable…
