To match a frame

While editing in the Timeline panel, you might locate a frame in a sequence clip that you want to display in the
Source Monitor.
❖
In the Timeline panel, position the current-time indicator over the desired frame in a clip and double-click the
clip.
Note: If the sequence clip is already open in the Source Monitor or listed in the Source menu, the clip will display the last
frame you viewed in the clip. To match the frame, close the clip in the Source Monitor before double-clicking in the
Timeline panel.

Reference Monitor

Using a Reference Monitor

A Reference Monitor acts like a secondary Program Monitor. You can use a Reference Monitor to compare different
frames of a sequence side by side, or to view the same frame of a sequence using different viewing modes.
You can cue the frame of a sequence displayed in the Reference Monitor independently from the Program Monitor.
This way, you can cue each view to a different frame for comparison—to use the color matching filter, for example.
Alternatively, you can gang the Reference Monitor and Program Monitor together, so that they both show the same
frame of a sequence and move in tandem. This is especially useful for color-correcting tasks. By setting the Reference
Monitor's viewing mode to a waveform monitor or vectorscope, you can make adjustments to the color corrector or
any other video filter more effectively.
Using a Reference Monitor to aid in color correction
You can specify the Reference Monitor's quality setting, magnification, and viewing mode just as you would in the
Program Monitor. Its time ruler and viewing area bar also work the same. But because it's for your reference and not
for editing per se, the Reference Monitor contains controls for cueing to frames, not for playback or editing. When
you gang the Reference Monitor and Program Monitor together, you can use the Program Monitor's playback
controls. You may open only one Reference Monitor.

To open a Reference Monitor

❖
In the Program Monitor menu, choose New Reference Monitor. The Reference Monitor opens in a separate panel.
If you want, you can drag the Reference Monitor's tab into the Source Monitor.
