Disabling the Marker Edit Window
If you want to add markers without including comments, you can modify the behavior of the
Marker edit window so that it does not open each time you create a new marker. This lets you
add markers quickly and then edit marker information later.

Finding Frames, Clips, and Bins
Once you have captured, viewed, marked, and subcataloged numerous clips for a project, you
might have difficulty relocating specific clips or frames among several bins. Your Avid editing
application provides a number of features for quickly locating and cueing footage, including
conventional timecode and frame-offset techniques, text searches, and Match Frame and Find
Bin commands.
Using Timecode to Find a Frame
You can cue a loaded clip or sequence to a specific frame by typing timecode values with the
numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard. In addition, you can cue backward or forward
from the current location in the clip or sequence by a specified number of minutes and seconds,
or feet plus frames, by using positive or negative frame-offset values.
