Using markers, regions, and commands
Markers and regions serve as reference points along the timeline and help arrange events on the timeline.
You can use markers for annotations, to insert metadata commands, or to mark track and index entries for
a disc-at-once CD project.
Inserting markers
From the Insert menu, choose Marker to add a marker at the cursor position. Markers can be used to
indicate points of interest in projects or to make notes in the project.
If you choose to save markers in your rendered MPEG-2 file, DVD Architect Pro will read those markers as
chapter markers. Ensure the Render I-frames at markers check box is selected before rendering (in the
Render As dialog, choose MainConcept MPEG-2 from the Template drop-down list, and then click the
Custom button. In the Custom Template dialog, select the Video tab and select the Render I-frames at
markers check box).
Each marker (up to 99) is assigned a number. Pressing this number on the keyboard moves the cursor
to the corresponding marker.
Inserting a marker
1. Position the cursor where you want to add a marker.
2.
From the Insert menu, choose Marker. A marker will be added at the cursor position and an edit
box is displayed.
3. Type a name for the marker in the edit box and press Enter.
You can also insert markers during playback by pressing the M key.
Naming or renaming a marker
Right-click the marker tag and choose Rename from the shortcut menu. Type the name of the marker in
the edit box and press Enter when you're finished.
—or—
Double-click to the right of the marker and type a name in the edit box.
