Reverse Match Frame

fundamental non-linear editing command that allows an editor to instantly locate the source clip and specific in/out range for a clip that is currently in the timeline. Where a standard "match frame" goes from source to timeline, this function works in reverse, taking the editor from the sequence back to the original media in the project browser or bin. It is essential for finding alternate takes, extending handles, or simply re-orienting oneself within the raw footage.
