What is the difference between Match Frame and Redo in Premiere Pro?

• A. Match Frame loads the current frame's clip from the timeline into the Source Monitor; Redo repeats the last action you performed
• B. Match Frame updates the timeline to the last saved frame; Redo reopens the project
• C. Match Frame renders the frame; Redo clears the undo history
• D. Match Frame exports the current frame as an image; Redo duplicates the clip

Answer: (A)

Understanding how Match Frame differs from Redo helps you work with exact footage and editing history more efficiently. Match Frame takes the exact frame you're viewing on the timeline and loads the corresponding frame from the underlying source clip into the Source Monitor. This lets you inspect or edit that precise frame in its original source, set In/Out points, or replace it with another take if needed. Redo, by contrast, is a history function that repeats the last action you performed after an undo. It’s about reapplying edits, not about loading or viewing a frame from the source. So you use Match Frame for precise inspection of the source frame, and Redo to reapply the most recent action.
