    Any idea why the Match frame button doesn’t work?
    I have mapped it to the keyboard and that works.
    But, I understand that if there is an in and out point and you hold the ALT key while
    clicking the Match frame button, the match frame (with in and out) is loaded in the source viewer. This does not work with the keyboard mapping.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I think you have to map the modifier key also. Go to Command Palette>Other tab and drag the “Add Alt Key” button onto the button you want to be Alt+Match Frame, and I think that’ll do what you want.

    good luck,
    Carl

    You are correct. Thank-you.
    And I also learned that the in and out points that come up in the source clip of the matched frame are previous in and outs that were put on the clip before, NOT the in/outs that are currently on the timeline.
    I am still curious why the actual Match frame button (when clicked on) seems to do nothing.
    Thanks Again

    “I am still curious why the actual Match frame button (when clicked on) seems to do nothing.”

    You mean the match frame button on your record side? If so, do you have all the right tracks selected?

    good luck,
    Carl

    I actually meant the Match Frame button on the source side below the viewer. I am quite sure that this is it’s default position. At closer inspection (when clicked) it will put the frame of my source viewer in the my NTSC monitor but doesn’t match to any frame on the timeline, of course that can be accomplishes by the reverse Match frame, which is quite handy.
    And if I use the Match frame button in the hamburger—upper right above the record side, that does work.
    Thanks again Carl

    You’re welcome. I didn’t realize there was a match frame button on the source side, because I don’t display the second row of buttons. Looking at the online help, it doesn’t make much sense on the source side anyway. Match frame works from the record side to the source side, and reverse match frame works from the source to the record, which is why match frame on the source side doesn’t really do anything. (As you pointed out.)

    adios,
    Carl

    [Carl Amoscato] “Looking at the online help, it doesn’t make much sense on the source side anyway”

    Actually it does, since Avid only highlights previously used material that’s on V1 (I believe).

    [Carl Amoscato] “which is why match frame on the source side doesn’t really do anything. (As you pointed out.)”

    Again, it does if you need to match from a subclip or multicam group to the original master clip/
