Using Markers in the Media Pool
Once you’ve added one or more markers to source clips in the Media Pool, you can use them
for editing in a considerably more direct way than just using them to move the playhead around.
Markers can be exposed in the List view of the Media Pool, and once exposed, they can be
opened into the Source Viewer, edited into the Media Pool, or turned into subclips just like any
other clip.
To show markers in the Media Pool:
Set the Media Pool to List view, then click the disclosure button to the left of the clip
with markers you want to work with. They appear as a hierarchical list underneath the
clip to which they’re attached.
Markers exposed in the Media Pool in List view
To open a marker in the Media Pool into the Source Viewer:
Double-click any marker to open that clip into the Source Viewer with the playhead at
the position of that marker.
To edit a clip defined by the marker into the Timeline:
Drag any marker into the Timeline. A clip will be edited into the Timeline with the In
point defined as the frame at the marker, and the Out point defined by either (a) the
frame before the next marker in that clip, or (b) the duration of that marker if the duration
is greater than the default 1 frame.
To turn a marker in the Media Pool into a subclip:
Select one or more markers, and drag the selection into another region of the Media
Pool, or into another Bin, and a sub clip will be generated with the clip start defined as
the frame at the marker, and the clip end defined by either (a) the frame before the next
marker in that clip, or (b) the duration of that marker if the duration is greater than the
default 1 frame.
Hiding Markers By Color
View > Show Markers enables users to either show and hide markers based on color, or show
them all at once. An example of when this is useful is when you’re using the color of markers to
send information to specific artists, such as green for Fairlight mixing notes, or orange for
Fusion page compositing notes. Users on those pages can then hide all other markers except
for the color they’re interested in, enabling them to visually prioritize only the markers they
care about.
