Using Markers
524
When you insert a marker, it appears as an oval in the Timeline, in the position bar, and at the
bottom of the frame in the monitor. The color of the oval corresponds to the color of the marker
button you used.
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 707.
Music cues Use markers to mark the IN and OUT points for music.
Audio information sent to
Avid Pro Tools
Use markers to mark places in the sequence for advanced audio editing
in Pro Tools or to indicate video data useful to your Pro Tools editor.
Trim markers Use markers in the Timeline to return directly to an edit you have
designated for further trimming at a later time.
Cutaway markers Use markers to identify cutaway shots with comments so that when you
return to cover jump-frame edits with cutaway footage, you can quickly
call up the shots using basic Find procedures.
Replace markers Use markers to mark filler segments with comments to identify the items
that should replace the filler.
Semi-permanent IN or
OUT points
Use markers with the Mark Markers button to put multiple sets of
markers on a long clip, and so on.
Add comments for EDLs Use markers to add comments to sequence clips to appear in lists that
you create, such as an EDL or cut list.
