What does the "Match Frame" function do in Avid Media Composer?

The "Match Frame" function in Avid Media Composer is designed to improve the workflow by allowing editors to quickly locate the original source clip that corresponds to a specific instance of that clip within a sequence. When you select a clip in the timeline and use the Match Frame command, Media Composer will bring up the original media file in the bin, which helps editors ensure that they are making adjustments or edits based on the correct source material. This function is especially useful during the editing process when you may need to reference or replace clips frequently, as it streamlines the workflow and reduces the time spent searching through bins for the relevant media. This capability is a fundamental feature for maintaining organization and efficiency in the editing process.
