Match Frame > Source Viewer Automatically Highlights - NOT NO MORE!

Adobe Premiere Pro > Sequence/Timeline > Match Frame (Shortcut):

This used to pop the clip from the timeline into the Source Viewer and automatically bring the Source Viewer into focus (highlighting the Source Viewer). Then, I would use the "Reveal in Project" shortcut, which would automatically highlight the clip and the bin. From there, I could use the "Reveal in Finder" shortcut to locate my clip(s) in Finder. Three easy steps—it worked great!

 

After the latest Premiere Pro update, there's no more automatic highlighting of the Source Viewer or Bin.

So now, I have to:
Adobe Premiere Pro > Sequence/Timeline > Match Frame (Shortcut), manually click the Source Viewer, use the "Reveal in Project" shortcut, then click the Bin (being careful to click the correct clip, or I’ll have to start all over), and finally use the "Reveal in Finder" shortcut! From 3 easy steps to SIX!

 

Thanks, Adobe Engineers—you’ve made things more cumbersome!

Would you please fix this?

Match frame does not pop up the clip from the timeline but rather the source clip from the Project window in the Source monitor.

 

If you want the timeline clip showing in the source monitor, you double click on the clip in the timeline.

 

If you select a clip in the timeline and hit the shortcut for reveal in Finder it will show the original file in Finder.

At least, this works for me on Windows. Just one click!

Match frame has always shows the clip in the source monitor (and it still does here). In the preferences you can choose whether it should set an in point or not.

 

Double clicking does so too, but altering the clip there then alters it it in the timeline too. For instance setting an earlier out point in the source monitor shortens the clip in the timeline - a behaviour i have never understood what it might be good for.

 

You can mark a clip in the timeline and go  to the project windows directly via Reveal in Project, you don't have to load it into the source monitor first.

And it seems that in 25.2 the weird manner to open a new project window every time you do so has been fixed.

(For Match frame  the clip does not to be marked first, it works on the highest active track.) 

 

In other words: in my case everything is like it has been since ages. (Win 11 and 2025.2)

 

Edit: It always takes me too much time to post, meanwhile Ann's post says fairly the same ...
