VIEW TWO CLIPS IN PROGRAM MONITOR AT SAME TIME

HI,

New to Premiere Pro. Was trying to line up a two clips in time line, both same material one with timecode burn in (of an edited sequence) and the other (unedited) without. I hit some key inadvertently and was able to see both clips side by side in the program monitor.  It would be enormously helpful if I could figure out how to do this again.  If anyone can help me out I would be very grateful.

Many thanks,
Nick

    If you have two clips next to each other you can do a roller trim (hold down on CTRL and drag the join) and the display will show you the in and out of both clips.  A ripple trim (hold ctrl and click one side of the join)  will also let you do this.
    If the clips are on different tracks then you have to make one semi-transparent - using the opacity control in the effects window (ECW) - to see the other underneath.  Or shrink one down using the motion parameters in the ECW.  Then remember to remove these when the clips are lined up.

    Outside of trimming operations or PIP effects, the only way I know of to see more than one clip at a time is in Multicamera mode.

    Might have seen the editing option in the program window.

    You can only see adjacent clips.

    Double click on a cut in the timeline.

    Thanks Ann. But this is not the feature I was talking about. I was able to run two clips at the same time side by side.
