To create a timed subclip:

the Tab key to type comments about the clip.
Adding Markers On-the-Fly While Capturing
You can use function keys to add markers on-the-fly while capturing. When the Capture tool is
active, eight colored markers are mapped to the F5–F12 function keys on the keyboard, and the
End Marker Entry key is mapped to F4. The markers override any other functions mapped to
these keys.
If your Avid editing system is an asset manager client in an OMF workgroup, and you are
capturing with shared volume segmentation (“chunking”) enabled, see your Avid shared storage
documentation for details on the capture procedure.
If your Avid editing system is an asset manager client in an MXF/AAF workgroup, you cannot
create markers while capturing media using the Capture tool. However, you can use the Frame
Chase editing feature when capturing media from a supported external device using Avid
Interplay Transfer. For more information about using Frame Chase editing, see “Using Frame
Chase Editing” in Avid Interplay Best Practices.
For more information about markers, see
“Using Markers” on page 501.
To add a marker to a frame while capturing:
1. Start capturing.
2. Watch the playback of the footage in the monitor, and press one of the marker keys (F5–F12)
when you see the shot or frame with which you want to associate a marker.
