Reverse Match Frame in Productions

Reverse Match Frame should work in a production the EXACT SAME WAY that it works in a regular project.

 

I should be able to Match Frame from a sequence in Project A, and Reverse Match Frame to that same footage in a sequence in Project B.

 

I legitimately don’t understand what the technical limitation is here. Both sequences are linking to the same footage from the same media project within the production.

 

I see that there are some very old requests for this feature, so I apologize for being redundant. But that just highlights how insane it is that it doesn’t exist.

    I upvoted because YES I want this also. But I’ve talked with the devs, and apparently even within a production, cross-project reverse links like that are a ton more complex than you or I would imagine. It doesn’t seem like that big a deal to me either. But some folks who I know know code look at me and say it ain’t no small thing … or they’d already be doing it.

     

    They want it also.

    Thanks for the thoughtful reply. That totally makes sense, and I figured it’s more complex under the hood than what I imagine.

     

    Having said that, it feels like there must be a workaround solution. I haven’t tried it, but it looks like Knights of the Editing Table figured out an imperfect yet workable solution in Excalibur. If they can do this, surely Adobe can figure out an even better solution.

    Yea … well, Knights of the Editing Table and Digital Anarchy provide some of the most helpful stuff to use in Premiere ... at least it is available! 

    I work for/with/teach pro colorists, mostly based in Resolve though some of course are totally Baselight. (Which is flipping expensive!!!!!!!!! to get into and use ... sheepers ...)

     

    And although both apps have tons of things for color/texture/tone/grain past what Premiere has, everyone of them I know has at least Boris, if not the full Maxon/RedGiant, Neat, Topaz, and a couple other things. And are amazed that so many editors scream about needing to buy one “little” plug-in. Hmmm ... different environments, right? Ha.
