— Press M.
— Click the Marker button to place a marker of the currently selected color in the Timeline ruler.
— 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, then press Command-M
(or press M twice). Playback pauses until you enter some text and close the marker dialog again, at which point playback continues.
— Click the Marker drop-down to choose a different color, and click the Marker button.
— Right-click in the Timeline ruler and choose a marker color from the Add Marker submenu of the contextual menu.
— Choose Mark > Add Marker > Current Color (M) to add the current marker color. Alternatively, you can choose Mark > Add Marker > Blue/Cyan/Green/and so on to add a marker of a specific color directly to clips or the Timeline. These commands can be assigned specific keyboard shortcuts if you want to be able to place a specific marker color at a keystroke.
Saving In and Out Point Ranges As Markers with Duration
Individually mappable marker color commands
You can also create markers with duration to keep track of any region of a clip or timeline that you’ve defined with In and Out points. This lets you identify multiple regions of a clip that you might later want to edit into a program.
