Example of a marker in the monitor, position bar and in the Timeline
You can add markers to your source material while you are in an editing session, as described in
“Adding Markers While Editing” on page 525.
When you export sequences with markers as AAF files, the marker information is included. A
Pro Tools editor can then choose to import the markers as Pro Tools as markers. The markers
contain the same information as markers in your Avid editing system.
Adding Markers While Editing
To add markers and comments while in an editing session:
1. Load a clip or sequence.
2. (Option) Select a specific track by using the Track Selector panel.
See “Understanding the Track Selector Panel” on page 707.
3. Cue to the frame, and click an Add Marker button.
The Add Marker buttons are in the More tab of the Command palette.
The Marker edit entry window opens. The marker name, color, frame, and track information
appear. By default, the marker name is the user name logged onto your system.
