Using Markers
Markers are a type of electronic bookmark. They let you find and identify specific frames during
editing. Keywords that you enter in the comments attached to a marker let you use standard Find
procedures to call up the clips quickly. You can display information about the markers using the
Markers window. For more information about the Markers window, see “Using the Markers
Window” on page 495.
There are eight Add Marker buttons in the More tab of the Command palette. Each Add Marker
button is a different color, which lets you group markers by color. For example, you can use the
red Add Marker button to identify color correction frames and use the blue Add Marker button to
identify cutaway shots.
You can map Add Marker buttons, as described in “Understanding Button Mapping” on page 97.
Suggested Uses for Markers
The following table describes some possible uses for markers and the Markers window:
Use Description
Color correction
notations
Use markers to mark clips or specify frames that require color
correction, noting the specific correction to perform if someone else does
the job.
Visual track alignments Use markers at matching points in synchronized audio and video tracks
so that if the tracks lose sync, you can visually realign the markers in the
Timeline to restore sync. For more information on sync, see “Working
with Multiple Tracks” on page 663.
Music cues Use markers to mark the IN and OUT points for music.
