Using User Marks on the Timeline
Use user marks for marking a location or reference point on the timeline. They are also
useful when you want to synchronize or align your media. User marks created in your Avid
editor appear in Avid FX. As you create user marks using the User Mark window, you can
add comments and color code them for easy reference. After you’ve placed all your user
marks on the timeline, you can jump from one to the next, arrange them in numerical or
alphabetical order, depending on the column of information you select.
User marks are shown on the timeline by default. To turn them off, see “Setting Your
Preferences” on page 137.
To add a user mark on the timeline:
1. Move the position indicator to the point at which you want the user mark to be placed.
2. Select Window > Show User Marks Window.
3. Click the Add Mark button.
A colored indicator appears on the timeline.
4. Click the Color button and select a color from the menu.
This will change the color of the indicator on the timeline.
5. Optional: Enter a comment. Any comments appear in the Composite and Preview
windows when the CTI is on that mark and as a cursor popup on the timeline.
