Adding Markers to Clips
The following procedures describe how to add markers to clips in the Timeline of the
Media page.
To mark a clip in the Timeline, do one of the following:
 Select one or more clips you want to mark, then move the playhead to the frame of a
selected clip in the Timeline, and click the Marker button in the toolbar (or press M) to
place a marker at that frame, using the current color (if multiple overlapping clips are
selected, you’ll add a marker to all clips).
 To place a marker during playback and immediately open the marker dialog to enter
a name or note within it, select one or more clips you want to mark, play through
the selection until you want to place a mark, then press Command-M. Playback
pauses until you enter some text and close the marker dialog again, at which point
playbackcontinues.
 Select one or more clips you want to mark, and then click the Marker pop-up to choose
a different color, and click the Marker button.
Adding Markers to Timelines
You can also place markers of any color into the Timeline ruler to denote specific times for
future reference, or add notes about issues you want to keep track of. You should note that all
markers placed on clips or in the Timeline also appear within the Mini-Timeline of the Color
page, making it easy to place notes to reference particular audio cues that might be valuable
when editing or grading.
To mark the Timeline itself, make sure all clips are deselected, and do one of the following:
 Click the Marker button (or press M) to place a marker of the currently selected color in
the Timeline ruler.
 To place a marker during playback and immediately open the marker dialog to
enter a name or note within it, select one or more clips you want to mark, then press
Command-M. Playback pauses until you enter some text and close the marker dialog
again, at which point playback continues.
 Click the Marker pop-up to choose a different color, and click the Marker button.
 Right-click in the Timeline ruler and choose a marker color from the Add Marker
submenu of the contextual menu.
