Turn on Show Duplicate Frame Markers in Premiere Pro
This tutorial teaches you how to make your Premiere Pro Timeline panel show any duplicate shots, frames, or clips. It’s a very useful and simple feature to turn on.
In your Timeline panel find the Wrench icon towards the top left-ish area, underneath the blue timecode time. Click it. In the menu that appears toggle on Show Duplicate Frame Markers. That’s it!
After that, the frame(s) that are duplicated will show a colored bar at the bottom of the clip(s) in the timeline.
You’ll notice in my example image below that each time there’s a duplicated clip/frame there’s a different color. The same color correlates to the duplicated clip. So red and red are the same two shots. Orange and orange are the same. Etc.

This feature is turned off by default. I find myself turning it off or on depending on what I’m doing. Those colored bars can get annoying to look at sometimes, especially when I know I purposefully have duplicated clips in my Premiere Pro timeline.
One more tip! Back over in your bin put it into Frame View instead of List View. In the lower right corner, if the clip is used you’ll see a blue icon. Click on the icon and it’ll tell you each time it’s used and you can jump to that point in your timeline. This even works across all sequences in your Premiere Project.
If you’ve now gone through this tutorial and you still need help, please leave a comment and I’ll do what I can to help troubleshoot it. But if you now show duplicate shots in Premiere Pro, I hope you stick around and check out some of the other Premiere Pro tutorials on my website or consider signing up to get notified about new blog posts and happenings around EVF.
