Also, you can find the source frame for any frame in a nested sequence, display it in the Source Monitor, and jump to its location in the source sequence. 1 Click the header of the track where the sequence clip is located, to target the track. If more than one track is targeted, Premiere Pro will match the frame in the highest targeted track. 2 In a Timeline panel, position the current-time indicator over the desired frame in a clip. Note: If the source clip for the frame in the sequence clip is already open in the Source Monitor or listed in the Source menu, the Source Monitor will display the last frame you viewed in the clip. To match the frame, close the clip in the Source Monitor before typing the Match Frame or Reveal Nested Sequence keyboard shortcut. 3 Do one of the following: • For a clip in a standard sequence, type the keyboard shortcut for Match Frame, M by default.

Using the J, K, and L keys to shuttle video
You can quickly and accurately move through frames in a sequence using the J, K, and L keys. The J key always moves
the current-time indicator in reverse and the L key always moves it forward. The K key is a modifier and stop playback
key. Press J to move backward at normal speed, press J and K to move backward slowly, or press K and tap the J key to
move back a frame at a time. The K and L keys work in the same way to move forward. For more information about
using the J, K, and L keys for playback,
see this video
by Richard Harrington on the Creative Cow website.
If you require more finely tuned control with the J, K, and L keys, particularly to hear audio better, do the following:
After shuttling forward with the K and L keys, press Shift+L to play forward slightly faster. Press Shift+L again to
play faster.
After shuttling in reverse with the J and K keys, press Shift+J to play in reverse slightly faster. Press Shift+J again to
play faster in reverse.
You can press Shift+L and Shift+J up to five times to fine-tune the speed of playback.
If you are playing back too quickly, press the opposite keyboard shortcut to slow playback. For example, if you were
playing back too quickly forward, press Shift+J to slow playback down by one increment.
Match a frame with its source
While editing in a Timeline panel, you can find the source frame for any frame in a sequence clip and display it in the
Source Monitor. Also, you can find the source frame for any frame in a nested sequence, display it in the Source
Monitor, and jump to its location in the source sequence.
1
Click the header of the track where the sequence clip is located, to target the track.
If more than one track is targeted, Premiere Pro will match the frame in the highest targeted track.
2
In a Timeline panel, position the current-time indicator over the desired frame in a clip.
Note:
If the source clip for the frame in the sequence clip is already open in the Source Monitor or listed in the Source
menu, the Source Monitor will display the last frame you viewed in the clip. To match the frame, close the clip in the
Source Monitor before typing the Match Frame or Reveal Nested Sequence keyboard shortcut.
3
Do one of the following:
For a clip in a standard sequence, type the keyboard shortcut for Match Frame, M by default. In Adobe Premiere
Pro CS5.5 and later, you can also choose Sequence > Match Frame.
For a clip in a nested sequence, type the keyboard shortcut for Reveal Nested Sequence, Shift-T by default.
Using the Waveform monitors and vectorscope
Premiere Pro has a
vectorscope
and
waveform monitors
(YC Waveform, YCbCr Parade, and RGB Parade) to help you
output a video program that meets broadcast standards and also assist you in making adjustments based on aesthetic
considerations, such as color corrections.
For decades, video production and duplication facilities have used
waveform monitors
and
vectorscopes
to accurately
evaluate video
levels
—specifically, color and brightness.
