Match Frame From Source Monitor or other Workaround for This Worklow?

Posted by Hunter Starnes on October 18, 2011 at 5:57 pm

Hi all,

I have a long multicam interview that I have synced and nested in it’s own sequence In Premiere Pro CS5. I have also run speech analysis to help me when searching for material. I would like to find my material using the transcript and then make my selections using the sequence so that I can more easily cut between my cameras.

Here is my workflow:
1) Sync the clips and set the sequence timecode to match.
2) Load my first clip in the source monitor with the transcription and find what I want to use.
3) Copy the in/out timecode from my source monitor to my sequence and then lay out my selects to the main timeline.

This works fine but I was wondering if there is an easier way? It would be great if I could “reverse match frame” from the source monitor but I don’t think this is possible, is it?

Hope this was clear, thanks in advance!

In Keyboard shortcuts, there is a command called, “Replace from Clip>From Source Monitor, Match Frame”. See if that works for you.

Thanks for the response Kevin. I do not want to replace a clip in the timeline but to match my playhead (CTI) in the source monitor to the exact frame of the video in the sequence. This will allow me to then select my in and out points in the timeline and then extract and place into my main sequence.

Gday Hunter,

Currently that type of FCP workflow isn’t there. Add a Feature request at this website:

Try this tutorial and let us know if this solves your workflow, to some extent anyways 🙂
https://library.creativecow.net/barrie_jon/Premiere_Pro-Clip-Instances/1

You can create In/Out marks around a selected clip with the forward slash key (/) or shift+/ to set in out around a clip the playhead is over (and the active track).

Cheers JB

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the links. Already knew how to find instances, so it’s not quite what I am looking for. I guess I will continue my current workflow, which works fine but it’s still a bit of a hack.

To feature requests I go! 🙂

Can you please provide a screen grab of what you are doing – I really want to see it, as I am still not sure what you are doing.

Sure! I am away from my workstation right now but I did a quick recreation that I hope makes things more clear.

And the last step is to paste my nested interview selections in the main sequence.

I hope that clearifies what I am trying to accomplish. And if there is a better way then please let me know! 🙂

Thanks,

Don’t know if it helps but as an old fcp user what I do is to create a marker in the source at the relevant timecode point there and that pops a marker in the timeline. Not perfect but a workaround. I do miss fcp7 for things like this

PPro will do this too. Good idea!
