Reverse Match Frame not finding the frame in any other/duplicate clip

Suppose I've clip-1 loaded in timeline and I command 'Match Frame' from Source Panel and immediately the clip is loaded in Source Monitor and exact frame located.

Now I load a duplicate copy of the same clip, Clip-1B into timeline (into the same sequence or other sequence in both cases same result), and highlight Src Pnl and command 'Reverse Match Frame'. But it doesn't find the desired frame in this 'Clip-1B' on timeline. If I load the clip1 on the sequence, then 'Reverse Match Frame' works and brings the playhead/cti on that very frame in Tline. But not on the Clip1-b.

Why, isn't this command meant to find the exact same frame in different/other/duplicate clips?

Both Match Frame and Reverse Match Frame will only locate the same Project instance of the clip, the same as if you choose Reveal in Project.

If you have two different Project clips with the same media and want to identify the frames from this media in the timeline, drag one of the clips into your timeline. Then click the Timeline Display Settings wrench and turn on Show Duplicate Frame Markers. This will identify duplicate frames based on the media path, not the Project clip.

1. I've created the copy of the clip in the same project, even in same bin.

2. If I turn on the option 'show duplicate frame markers' in the tl wrench menu, then both these clips do show blue horizontal line to show that both are having same video/media.

3. If I right click any of the two media clips in tl> reveal in the project, then the respective media clip gets highlighted in the project bin.

Hope I'm providing right information. I've researched many hours googling on this problem without any success.

You could try this:

1. Select your subclip in the timeline, and press Match Frame to load the subclip in the Source Monitor.
2. With the Source Monitor still active, press Match Frame again to load the original master clip in the Source Monitor.
3. Go to Clip > Replace with Clip > From Source Monitor, Match Frame. This will replace the subclip in the timeline with the master clip.
4. Now you should be able to use Reverse Match Frame with the master clip.

Hope this helps!

Great!!

Although this solution is enough for my current problem, but this solution would work only to find a frame of one subclip-1 in the master clip (by commanding 'Match Frame' two times in a row). This was indeed new for me.

But is there some trick or work around to find the some frame of Sub-clip1, in other sub-clip2 (both subclips have almost identical frames, and are in same bin and same project)?
