  • OPpning original media file from the timeline

    Posted by Casey Tourangeau on May 11, 2011 at 3:51 pm

    HI all,

    This is a super basic question, but I’m looking the key command to open the original media file (i.e. the one accessible in the browser) from a sequence’s timeline.

    I used to know how to do this, but it’s completely gone form my mind, and all my searching online hasn’t brought me to the answer.

    Thanks for any help!

    The F key is match frame and brings up the clip in the browser. Cmd-Opt-F matches back to a new copy of the media. Shift-F shows the location of the clip in the browser. Control-click on the clip and you also have a Reveal in Finder function. Take your pick.

    All the best,

    Tom
