Workflow suggestions wanted
I’m still fairly new to premiere having recently switched from vegas due to hardware issues, but am actually starting to like how it works for the most part.
One issue I ran into recently was, what do you do if you want to use 2 seperate areas from the same clip?
I noticed that if I try to reset the in and out points in the source to the new area I want to ad to the timeline, it updates the points on the portion that is already on the timeline.
There may be something completely obvious I am missing but the only way around it I see is to drag the clip with the same I/O points to the timeline and trim it there. It works, but seems kinda clumsy.

The solution to this is instead of double-clicking on the clip in the timeline, double-click on it in the Project window. Set the I/O points there and drag it down.
What happens when you double-click on it from the timeline is that Premiere references the specific instance of the clip you put in the timeline. If you want to create a second instance of the clip, you need to go back to the original source clip in the Project window.
Or just copy and paste the clip on the timeline and make your edits to the copy. Either way.

Ah, perfectly logical. Thanks for the help.

Tim , did you mean to tell him to double click in the project window? (I assume you intended that it loaded the clip to the source window)
You do not have to do that if the clip is still in the source monitor
If so, go back to the Source window you and enter new in and out points to any clip that you are already using part of in the timeline
Just make sure the clip is NOT selected in the timeline. That is why, as Tim says, you do not double click the clip in the timeline.
You will notice if you use different parts of the same source clip that little indicators appear on the “bar” under the source monitor.

You can also use the T key to matchframe the clip from the timeline to the Source Viewer and then remark the In/Out points and re-edit the new clip into the timeline.

My assumption is that he didn’t necessarily have the clip loaded in the clip window. Plus I’ve been working with Premiere Elements a lot lately, which doesn’t have a separate source window (it just flips the monitor back and forth between source and program), so you have to target the clip in the bin.
Larry’s solution is pretty elegant, though.

The only suggestion that I could get to work was the first. Loading the clip from the project window.
If I bring a clip to the source monitor from the timeline by double-clicking and then deselect it in the timeline, changing the I/O points still changes the clip on the timeline.
If I select a clip on the timeline or the project window and hit “T” nothing happens. How am I supposed to use this feature? -
Make sure the correct track is active, the T key SHOULD be mapped to the Matchframe function, it is when using the Default keyboard, it may be a different key in your settings. Matchframe function loads the source from the bin as opposed to the other methods which loads the actual clip from the timeline. I use this feature to Slip clips from the timeline using the Source Viewer. Hope this explains it.
