Markers overview
Markers are reference points you can place within clips to locate, identify, and annotate
specic frames. In editing, markers are particularly useful for synchronizing two or
more clips at a specic point. For example, you can use a marker to label the frame
where a door slams and then snap a sound eect to that marker. You can use markers
to ag a specic location in a clip with editing notes or other descriptive information.
You can also use markers for task management. Markers are classied as informational
(blue markers), to-do items (red markers), and completed to-do items (green markers).

You work with markers in the same way for clips in the Event Browser and clips in
the Timeline.
