replacing clips from original footage

[Alex Udell]

HI Lillian…

As long as the original file still exists in the project (which I assume it does as you still have it’s audio in the sequence):

There is a Keyboard command you might have to map called: Match Frame (i set it to H)

1) Park you timeline cursor at the head of a clip where the Video has been removed on the timeline.

2) Select the Gap by clicking on it and hit the / key. This will Mark the duration of the gap.

3) Click the Audio Track label that contains the audio for the source.

4) Press The H (or whatever you mapped it to) key. This reloads the original clip into the source viewer and parks the playhead in the viewer to the “matched frame” of what you have on the timeline.

5) Clear all the in and out points in the viewer (G Key unless you’ve remapped it)

6) Press I to mark and in on the source viewer

7) Press . to perform an overlay edit back to the timeline.

You should now have your original source back on the timeline…

Hope that helps….

This is VERY helpful… there are just a few things that I don’t quite understand…

There is a Keyboard command you might have to map called: Match Frame (i set it to H) this is what I’m not sure of… can you elaborate on that and how do I map it?

thanks so much.

Edit Menu>Keyboard Customization

Find Match Frame in the list, select it, and then hit the H key.

I am chiming in on this post because i am having some of the same issues

what happens is i used some sub par footage for an ppro project

i want to replace all these mpg files with the high res mov files and keep all the edits and transitions

it all works on the first clip but then it goes to crap and look at the screenshot for a better reference

any thoughts

FYI this post is new and fresh to the older one

any background info can be found at that link

ok i added this to shed some more light

the area in the blue rectangle seems to be the issue

ITS WAY TO FAR down on the clip, and no matter what i drag or try to add in or out points its like the clip is locked in read only

i figured a visual would help everyone
