Markers in the picture below are the yellow flags inside the clip. Not to be confused with timeline markers (red flags in the picture below). Markers are inside the clips and move with the clips.

Markers can be used for certain points (Marker2) or ranges (Marker1) in a clip that are important.

Markers are clip related and „fix“ to this clip. When you put the same clip again in the timeline and you change a marker, this marker is changed on both clips simultaneously.

2 ways to add markers

Add markers to your clips via the Monitor klipu. That allows you to preview the clip at the location where you are adding a marker.

Following procedures add a marker at the playhead position (clip monitor, timeline):

  • Nabídka

    • Clip monitor: From the main menu choose Markers ‣ Add Marker, Add Marker

    • Timeline: Click on the clip. From the main menu choose Markers ‣ Add Marker, Add Marker

    • Clip monitor: Right click on the clip monitor and choose Markers ‣ Add Marker

    • Timeline: Right click the clip in the timeline and choose Markers ‣ Add Marker. The marker is added at the play-head position.

  • Klávesnice

    • Clip monitor: numeric keypad * adds a marker

    • Timeline: Move the playhead on the desired position on the clip. Click on the clip. Numeric keypad * adds a marker

    • 1 - 0 (number 1 to 0 on the NumPad)

  • Myš

    • not possible

Markers With Range

The following two procedures generate markers with a range:

../_images/cutting_and_assembling-markers_with_range-2512.webp

In the Edit Marker window you can enable Range Marker which allows you to determine a Duration of the marker. Default Duration is 1 second.

You can create a marker with range from a clip zone.

Výstraha

Make sure you select the desired clip in the project bin.

Define a zone in the clip monitor with I and O. Then you can:

  • Right click on the zone and choose Create Marker from Zone. This opens a window (see above) and you can adjust all settings.

  • Right click on the zone and choose Create Marker from Zone Quickly. This creates a marker with the text Zone Marker in the currently active category.

Now the advantage is, that you can select this zone marker in the markers windows and drag it to the timeline. In this way you can mark interesting parts of a clip with zone marker instead of Insert Zone in Project Bin and creating sub clips.

Managing categories and markers

Kategorie

Markers using the same categories as Timeline Markers. More details about Kategorie.

Markers in the clip monitor

Once markers are put in your clip, you can access them in the Monitor klipu by right-clicking and selecting Go To Marker or by the hamburger menu Go To Marker (see picture). Also note how the markers appear as vertical lines according the category color you have chosen (see yellow highlighted regions in the picture). You can turn on the display of the marker comments in the timeline too (see Úpravy).
