About locking marker positions to clips
As described in the table above, you can lock markers to clips by select-
ing one of the Functions menu items “Make current marker relative to start
of focused clip”, “Make current marker relative to end of focused clip” or
“Make current marker relative to audio of focused clip”. If selected, the
marker will remain in the same position relative to the clip start (or end)
even if the clip is moved in the Montage or is resized.
Selecting the Functions menu item “Detach current marker from its rela-
tive clip” removes the marker’s clip reference and the marker position is
no longer locked to the clip.
About attaching markers to clips
On the Functions menu there are two items that control if and how markers
you insert should be automatically attached to existent clips. If a marker is
attached to a clip, the marker will move with and maintain its relative posi-
tion to the clip if the clip is moved or resized.
Activating the option “Attach automatically new markers to the most suit-
able clip” results in the following:
• If a marker is created within the boundaries of a focused clip or a clip on a fo-
cused track, the marker is attached to the audio of that clip (as per the option
“Make marker relative to audio of focused clip” described above).
• If a marker is created outside of any clips on the focused track (or if there is no
clip on the focused track) but within the boundaries of a clip on any other track,
the marker will be attached to the audio of that clip.
• Note that if the inserted marker is of the type CD or DVD track start or end,
it can be inserted farther away from a clip edge than 2 seconds and still get
attached.
All other types of markers must be inserted within 2 seconds from a clip edge.
Activating the option “Full clip attachment” will cause attached markers to
not only remain in position relatively to clips when you move them, but
also to be attached during clip operations. That means; if you copy a clip,
the attached markers will also be copied. If you delete a clip, the attached
markers will also be deleted.
Export marker list as text
This item on the Markers view : Functions menu opens a dialog allowing
you to save the marker list as a text file. The list will contain the markers’
names, positions and types. You can select to format the text in one of
three ways; Pure text, Excel (tabs) or XML.
