Reading Marker Information

Once you’ve added a number of markers with custom information, there are two ways of viewing this information without having to open the marker dialog.


To read marker notes using your pointer:

— Double-click a marker to open its marker dialog.

— Move the pointer over any marker in the Source Viewer or Timeline to see a tooltip showing that marker’s information.

Using Markers for Navigation

Markers can be used to aid navigation, via two keyboard shortcuts that let you jump the playhead from marker to marker. When moving the playhead among markers, Clip and Timeline markers are mixed together.


To move the playhead to the next or previous marker:

— Press Shift-Up Arrow to move the playhead to the next marker to the left in the Timeline.

— Press Shift-Down Arrow to move the playhead to the next marker to the right in the Timeline. The marker under the playhead is then automatically selected.

To move the playhead to a specific marker using the Source or Timeline Viewer’s Marker list:

— For a source clip or timeline with multiple markers, you can move the playhead immediately to a specific marker by opening the Source or Timeline Viewer’s Option menu, and choosing a marker from the Markers submenu, which exposes all the markers that are available in that Viewer, by name and note.
