Match frame kills I/O in Source Monitor
I’ve usually been able to make a sequence out of a long clip, like an interview or a concert, and use the waveform to determine breaks in the interview or the beginning/end of a song, go to those points and Match Frame to load that spot into the Source Monitor, then set an In/Out point there in order to make a subclip. Suddenly, when I go to the start of a song or interview segment, Match Frame, then set an In point in the Source, then go to the end of that song or interview segment in the Sequence and Match Frame to jump to that point in the Source Monitor, the In point i just set is eliminated. That’s never happened before, and I’ve been using this workflow for years. I can’t seem to locate a setting that will make a In/Out point in the Source Monitor persist when Match Frame is selected on the same clip.

When you hit F for match frame, it loads the current sequence clip into the source viewer with matching in/out points and sets the source CTI to match the sequence CTI. I didn’t think this was a new behavior.
You may gang source and program (I’ve assigned this to Ctrl+Alt+G) to make your workflow easier.

Thanks Walter! I wasn’t aware that Match Frame picked up the In/Out points assigned to that clip in the timeline. Still, what I’m describing has never happened before, and I’ve been using the ‘technique’, silly as it may now sound, for years. I only have one clip in the sequence, and I’m trying to make many subclips out of it. Being able to set the I/O points in the timeline then Match Frame will make that easier.

You know — forget what I said about ganging. There’s an easier way. Just cut/blade the clip on the timeline with Ctrl+K where you want the I/O points, then use F for match frame. Since the clip is cut, it’s match-framed I/O points will be what you want for your subclip extents. Ctrl+U and you’re done.
