Tips:
n From the View menu, choose Event Media Markers, and then choose Show Marker Labels
from the submenu to toggle the display of marker labels in events.
n When media markers are displayed, you can use them as snap points for positioning the cursor
and for edge-trimming if Snap to Markers is selected on the Options menu. If a media file's
frame rate does not match your project frame rate, frame quantization will occur after the
snap if Quantize to Frames is selected on the Options menu. For more information, see
"Adjusting an Event's Length" on page 158 and "Enable Snapping" on page 139.

From the Insert menu, choose Command to place a metadata command marker on the command bar.
Command markers indicate when an instruction (function) will occur in a streaming media file. You can
use command markers to display headlines, captions, link to Web sites, or any other function you define.
Windows Media Player 9 and later will ignore metadata commands unless the Run script commands
when present check box is selected on the Security tab of the player's Preferences dialog. Be sure to
instruct your audience to select this check box before playing your file.
