Work with markers
Markers overview
Markers are reference points you can place within clips to locate, identify, annotate, and navigate
to specic frames. In editing, markers are particularly useful for synchronizing two or more clips at
a specic point. For example, you can use a marker to label the frame where a door slams and then
snap a sound eect to that marker. You can use markers to ag a specic location in a clip with
editing notes or other descriptive information. When you add chapter markers to specic points
in your project, viewers can use the markers to quickly jump to those points in the movie after it’s
been exported or burned to DVD or Blu-ray disc. You can also use markers for task management.
Markers are classied as standard markers (blue), chapter markers (orange), to-do items (red), or
completed to-do items (green).
