Match Frame to Source Sequence

When cutting from a Source Sequence, it would be great to be able to match frame to that same frame in the Source Sequence (not to the original clip).

 

For example, if I have a series of 20 resets in my source, and I am not sure which one I used in the cut, all I need to do is use this 'FIND FRAME IN SOURCE SEQ' command to take me exactly to that point. Then I can see what else I might want to use and try that as an alt.

 

Sure, I could do that from the original clip but:

- then I'd have to get back to the source sequence.

- I also wouldn't have a way of marking things on the Source Sequence (which is the whole point of stringouts)

Resolve appears to have Avid style reverse match frame in 19.1 - https://youtu.be/nFLMI4tLhDQ?t=661&si=gdGTKGv_mPJpNVRJ

It would be nice to have this in the app, but having it in Excalibur is already a massive boon to me - I love it.

Don't forget, it's the number at the top of the post, via a computer it's on the upper left. Upvote that number for a feature to get some traction.

I was about to start a new thread with this same idea. Commenting to this back bump up.

 

Would love to see this implemented as part of Premiere instead of needing pluggins that make us jump through hoops in order to achieve it. Hopefully we can see this soon.

Update: Today I published Automation Blocks 1.1.000. In the new version Automation Blocks tools can be launchen in all kinds of ways, using keyboard shortcuts, external devices like StreamDeck, your phone (using Touch Portal), or other software running on your machine.

 

See here for details:

https://docs.mamoworld.com/automation-blocks/remoteExecution/

 

The keyboard shortcuts are a bit of work to set up (using Auto Hotkey on Windows or Automoator of Keyboard Mastro on Mac). But it comes with the additional benefit that Automation Blocks can now also be triggered with all kinds of other methods, too.

I came back to this thread for updates on that idea and by the same time, added another idea to the selects / stringout workflow that might interest fellow editors on this thread. See the idea here : Enable Multi-Camera view for sequences opened as Source Sequence

Sir @Mathias Moehl,

quoteWhat do you think about adding a feature to Excalibur to execute Automation Blocks tools? I think two places where users manage keyboard shortcuts is enough 🙂

I'm thinking of something even better than just linking Excalibur and Automation Blocks. I hope in 1-2 months I can show it to you.
