Timeline Markers

Timeline markers in the picture below are the red flags. Not to be confused with Markörer on a clip (yellow in the picture below). Timeline markers can be either stationary or moved when clips are moved around. Markers are inside the clips and move with the clips.

Timeline markers can be used for certain points (Timeline Marker2) or ranges (Timeline Marker1).

Timeline markers can be used to define regions for rendering. See Rendering Using Timeline Markers.

Timeline markers can also be used as chapters for DVD videos. See Rendering Using Timeline Markers.
