Creating Scene Markers
You can use the Create Scene Markers function to search the movie for significant
content changes (scene cuts), and automatically generate scene markers for each of
them.
The Create Scene Markers function uses a fixed threshold value, which works quite well
for most types of movies (cartoons, real life, CGI, and so on).
To search a movie for scene cuts, do one of the following:
m Choose the desired movie range in the Options > Movie > Create Scene Markers menu.
The Auto Range setting follows the decision path outlined below, when determining
which part will be evaluated:
 Marquee selection.
 Cycled project part.
 Selected regions.
 All—if none of the above criteria are met.
To quickly search a movie for scene cuts, using the Auto Range setting:
m Click the Detect Cuts button in the Video track.
m Use the Create Scene Markers (Auto Range) key command.
To remove scene markers, do one of the following:
m Choose the desired command in the Options > Movie > Remove Scene Markers menu.
m Use the Remove all Scene Markers (Auto Range) key command.
Converting Scene Markers
You can use the Marker List to convert a scene marker into a standard marker, and vice
versa.
To convert a scene marker into a normal marker:
m Select the scene marker in the Marker List, and choose Options > Convert to Standard
Marker.
To convert a normal marker into a scene marker:
m Select the marker in the Marker List, and choose Options > Convert to Scene Marker.
