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)

@alexs19751423  there is a shortcut to toggle between open timelines on PPro. I don't know what it is on the default keyboard cos my keyboard is a total mashup.

This would be a very welcome and useful addition. This workflow is in most longform broadcast and HETV Avid editors everyday toolkit. It vastly simplifies workflow when your brain is focussing on the creative and not where shots are located. In tandem with this would be the ability to toggle between source and sequence timelines using a single button (it is the escape key in Avid). There is a Premiere function to toggle source/program monitors but NOT timelines. Please give us a timeline toggle.

being able to match frame to a sequence in a source monitor in Adobe Premiere Pro would be extremely advantageous!  I do a lot of long form documentary editing, and this is the only thing that Avid Media Composer does that I miss (after spending 30 years editing on Avid).  This feature would be a fantastic benefit to Premiere Pro!

Been looking for this and an actual functional reverse match frame since switching back to premiere as my day to day. Miss these features from avid a lot.
