Better access to Clip UsageOpen for Voting

I work mostly in documentary editing (but this apply to any format), where media organization often relies on thematic sequences and/or selects sequences (by subject, character, scene, etc.). This is a well-rounded and common system. Then, once the edit is more advanced and/or notes are coming in, I frequently need to revisit source "selects" sequences. This is where I encounter frustration : reopening these sequences is more cumbersome than it has to be. For instance - a shot needs to be replaced and I want to look at my selects around the same scene. I have two options :Less thinking, maybe quicker, but creates a messMatch Frame → Reveal in Project → Full screen the project window → Check video usage → Open my "Select sequence" → Reverse Match Frame.Downside: This opens bins and often long list of media in the Project panel, disrupting my workspace organization. More thinking, flow breaker, but way cleanerMatch Frame → Manually track down the "selects" sequence in the project panel + open → Reverse Match Frame.Downside: This method seems shorter in theory, but in practice, it requires more mental effort to  locate the sequences.Both approaches take me out of my creative flow and slow down my work.Suggested ImprovementAdd an option to directly access the Video and Audio Usage of a clip via a contextual menu FROM THE SOURCE MONITOR? You know the list that pops up when looking at clip usage ? Make it available from the contextual menu. See a mockup here :  This would greatly improve workflow efficiency, especially for editors who, like me, rely heavily on organized source sequences.Thank you for your consideration! I’d love to hear if other users face the same challenge.

Fixing trimming in Adobe Premiere Pro (with examples)Open for Voting

PPro had a bad trimming mode. In the example i compare Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro trimming.1) Screen while trimming.In PPro we can see only in program monitor and when you use laptop, screen is too small to see, what's happening in 2 sides(A-side and B-side). In Avid MC Source monitor is only A-side, Program monitor B-side and it is very usefull when you use laptop(in timeline setting you can choose use source monitor as a trim side or only in program monitor trim A-side and B-side) 02) LiveTime Trimming (Avid and Premiere Pro Examples: https://youtu.be/XedhKrVLAVk) .In PPro when you trimming in trim mode(when you use keyboard shortcut) trim red/yellow/roll "thing" it is stuck and a it is annoing when you trimming, because you did not see movement.In Avid(in DaVinci also)  you can see how a "thing" move when you edit, and it is much more convenient. 03) LiveTime Track Selection (Avid and Premiere Pro Examples: https://youtu.be/ZNeVSCv8Jwg  )In PPro I want to edit a "J-cut" or "L-cut" or select only audio or video file. When I am in an edit mode, I cant choose only video or audio tracks in livetime, as an Avid MC. In Premiere U want go out from trim mode, diselect video track, when again press my shortcut to edit my audio files).In Avid MC I do that in real time, I can select or deselect when I am in trim mode and this made a trimming better and convenient)
