Which feature allows you to view the source clip related to a specific clip in the timeline?

The Source Monitor is the feature in Adobe Premiere Pro that allows you to view the source clip related to a specific clip in the timeline. When working on a project, it's common to want to examine the original footage used in your timeline sequences. By selecting a clip in the timeline, you can easily load its corresponding source clip into the Source Monitor. This is particularly helpful for reviewing the context of the clip or making adjustments to it.

Using the Source Monitor, you can play the original clip, set in and out points, and make decisions on any necessary edits or corrections. The ability to see the source footage while working on the timeline enhances your workflow and helps ensure that your edits are precise.

While the Project panel displays all the assets in your project, including source clips, it does not provide an interactive playback feature like the Source Monitor does. The Timeline panel is where the sequence of clips is arranged and edited, but it does not give access to the source footage directly. The Effects Control panel is focused on applying and adjusting effects on selected clips, which is unrelated to viewing the source clips. Thus, the Source Monitor serves a unique and essential role in the editing process by linking directly to the original source material.
