System information
Using markers and regions in the Trimmer
Adding markers or regions
1. Position the cursor or make a selection in the Trimmer window.
2.
Press M (or click Insert Marker ) to place a marker or R (or click Insert Region ) to place a region.
Trimmer markers and regions function identically to timeline markers and regions.
Saving Trimmer markers and regions
Click the Save Markers/Regions button . All markers and regions in the Trimmer are saved back into the
file.
If you want to automatically save markers and regions to the file, select the Automatically save Trimmer
markers and regions with media file check box on the General tab of the Preferences dialog. For more
information, see "Preferences - General Tab" on page 576.
Notes:
n You cannot save markers and regions to a read-only file or to file types that Vegas Pro cannot
render. If markers and regions cannot be saved, the Save Markers/Regions button is unavailable.
n If the selected file type cannot save markers internally, Vegas Pro will save the metadata to an
external file with an .sfl extension (using the same base name as your media file).
From the View menu, choose Event Media Markers to toggle the display markers (including XDCAM
essence marks) and regions that are saved in a media file. These markers are displayed in the timeline in
events that refer to the media file.
Viewing media markers and regions in events
Media markers and regions cannot be edited within the event. However, when you edit the markers in
markers and regions in the Trimmer window or in an external audio editor, the event will reflect your
changes.
