Markers
In MAGIX Video Pro X6 you can set various types of markers within your project.
The Lock button (at the very front, next to the time ruler) lets you lock all
markers (jump markers, chapter markers) against accidental moving or
deleting.
Playback marker
The playback marker indicates the point from which the material –
either the arrangement or a selected file from the Media Pool – will
be played back. There is a playback marker below each preview
monitor and an additional one above the timeline in the project
window.
The playback marker is displayed as a red triangle below the monitors. In the project
window it is displayed as a red triangle.
In order to move the playback marker, simply double click on the desired area below
the monitor. Alternatively, you can click on the playback marker and move it by
dragging it with the mouse. While being moved, the current image will appear on the
monitor, letting you see exactly where in the material you are located.
The playback marker in the video monitor can also be moved by clicking on the lower
section of the time scale in the project window. The playback marker will also be
moved on the program monitor, as both markers are coupled to each other.
The exact position of the playback marker can be seen in the time display at the top
left, below the corresponding monitor. There, you can change the displayed values
(Hour:Minute:Second:Frame) per mouse click to reach a certain point in time. Simply
enter the desired value and the playback marker will jump to the corresponding
position.
Tip: In the "Playback" tab under "File -> Settings -> Program", you can set whether
repeatedly pressing the space bar resets the playback marker to the current position
or moves it to the original position.
Project markers
The "Edit" menu or the keyboard shortcut "Shift + numerical keys 1-0 (0 for the tenth
marker) allow you to set a project marker (view page 301) at the current position of
the playback
marker. They function as a mental marker or indicate certain positions or
events within the project.
