Using Match Frame
The Match Frame feature locates the source footage for the frame currently displayed in either the Source pop-up or the Composer monitor, loads it into the Source pop-up or the Composer monitor (the Source monitor if you are using dual monitors), cues to the matching frame, and marks an IN point. It removes the source clip's original IN and OUT points.
In addition to helping you relocate and reedit master clips during a session, the Match Frame feature can be used to locate clips quickly, based on media relatives when you have forgotten their location.
Track selection determines the match frame. If you select a video track, the system matches a frame from the video. If you enable several tracks, the system matches the frame from the highest selected track level, in descending order: V1, A1, A2, and so on.
