Match Frame from Source Monitor to clip in Timeline

[Ann Bens]

That is correct. Match frame opens from the timeline the source clip in the SM not the other way around.

Dont exactly know what you are trying to achieve.

I’m trying to match a frame from the source monitor to a clip in the timeline with a keyboard shortcut. I assumed this would be the ‘f’ key as that is the Match Frame shortcut – however, it sounds like you’re telling me the Match Frame function only works going from the timeline to the source monitor?

Is there another name/shortcut for a match frame function for going from the source monitor to the timeline or does that just not exist?

Thanks Ann!

Try Rightclick on the clip in the timeline and Replace with Clip > from Source Monitor Match Frame

Cool function but not exactly what I’m looking for. Sorry, I’m not explaining myself very well.

Basically here’s what I’m trying to do:
• I have a song on my timeline that has a specific beat where I want to make an edit
• I double click on the song to load it into my Source Monitor so I can see the waveform and quickly find the exact frame I want to make the cut on
• While still in the Source Monitor, I would then like to be able to use a keyboard shortcut similar to Match Frame to park my playhead on the same frame in the Timeline so I can make the edit

Thanks again, sorry for any confusion.

Now I understand. Dont think you can do that with a keystroke.
I would do this with markers.

Hi Dustin,

Ann’s right there’s no way to do this in Premiere. Markers would be the way to go.

I am looking for the same question, but I just want to find where a clip is located on the timeline which has a very large amount of clips in place. I have the clip in the project panel and the source monitor. how do i now find the clip on the timeline?

Not sure why you want to view the waveform on the source side when you could look at it on the timeline.

Just click the twirly/triangle on the audio track that has the music bed on it. You can also float over the bottom edge of that track and then click and drag down to make a huge waveform display there, and find your beat.

Good luck!

[Kim Segel] “Not sure why you want to view the waveform on the source side when you could look at it on the timeline.”

Looking at an audio clip in the Source window gives me a huge display of the waveform and isolates the source so I can visually look for a cut point while listening to just that clip of audio. In FCP I could perform this action in just a few seconds with 2 keyboard shortcuts, ‘f’ to bring the clip into the Source, find the cut point then ‘f” brings me back to that exact point on the timeline. Bam, done.

As far as I can in tell in PPro there is no hot key to solo an audio track (has to be clicked) and expanding the track in the timeline requires a few key strokes or selecting it on the left side and dragging the track down, both of which take longer than the method I’m used to.

Ah! I miss this function! A perfect description of what I also do (did) in FCP. No luck in finding a way to do this? I finally said good bye to FCP and of course I desperately try to make PP work like FCP.
