If you convert a slideshow to a track, each still clip has a marker placed at its beginning.
The markers are named the same as the still asset used for its clip. These markers retain
any pause and DVD@CCESS settings that may have been set in the Slideshow editor. If
any slides use transitions, the transitions appear as a shaded area in the timeline with a
cell marker at their beginning.
Transition indicator
You can configure the transition by selecting the clip and making changes in the Clip
Inspector’s Transition tab. If a still with a transition also has a pause, the marker for the
next clip is placed at the beginning of the transition instead of at the next clip’s start. See
Using Still Clip Transitions and Converting a Slideshow to a Track for more information.
See Working with GOP Settings for more information about GOP structures, and Adding
Markers to Your Video for information on using Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express to add
markers to a clip.
Creating and Editing Markers
Each track always contains a chapter marker at its beginning. You can add up to 98
additional chapter markers to a track.
Markers appear along the top of the timeline display. A vertical line extends across all
streams at the position of each marker.
To add a marker to a track
Do one of the following:
µ
Click in the area above the timeline display. A marker is added at the point where you
clicked.
µ
Position the playhead at the point where you want to add the marker, then press M.
By default, the marker is set to be a chapter marker and is purple. See About the Marker
Types for more information about the marker types.
