Playhead at same source clip point in two timelines?

PostThu Mar 21, 2024 10:52 am

I have two timelines one (timeline A) contains the source media clip in its entierty and the other (timeline B) is the main programme timeline where all the edits are made and contains timeline A. I want to apply effects to timeline A at specific points that relate to where I am in timeline B - so I want the playhead to be in the same position on the source clip in both timelines - is this possible?

In Premiere Pro if you have a nested timeline when you switch to the original the playhead is at the same point as it was in the main timeline in terms of the source clip position. This happens by default but I can't replicate it in Resolve.

Hope this makes sense - quite difficult to explain!

Thanks

Looking around it seems like an often requested feature so hopefully BM listens to users.

There is a workaround. Instead of using the "Open in Timeline", call the following 2 commands:
1. Press the F keyboard shortcut (Match Frame)
2. Press Ctrl+Page Up (Swap Timeline and Source Viewer)

Thanks very much for the workaround - on my keyboard it's CMD and page up - but it works!
