The following procedures describe how to add markers to clips in the Timeline of the Media page.
— Select one or more clips you want to mark, then move the playhead to the frame of a selected clip in the Timeline, and click the Marker button in the toolbar (or press M) to place a marker at that frame, using the current color (if multiple overlapping clips are selected, you’ll add a marker to all clips).
— To place a marker during playback and immediately open the marker dialog to enter a name or note within it, select one or more clips you want to mark, play through the selection until you want to place a mark, then press Command-M. Playback pauses until you enter some text and close the marker dialog again, at which point playback continues.
— Select one or more clips you want to mark, and then click the Marker pop-up to choose a different color, and click the Marker button.
Adding Markers to Timelines
You can also place markers of any color into the Timeline ruler to denote specific times for future reference, or add notes about issues you want to keep track of. You should note that all markers placed on clips or in the Timeline also appear within the Mini-Timeline of the Color page, making it easy to place notes to reference particular audio cues that might be valuable when editing or grading.
— Click the Marker button (or press M) to place a marker of the currently selected color in the Timeline ruler.
