Markers on the Timeline

• Markers can be added to the timeline or pinned to media on the timeline.
  • By default, markers are added as timeline markers.
  • When added to the timeline, markers stay in the same location regardless of what media is added, moved, or deleted on the timeline. Timeline markers cannot be added to the Library.
  • When pinned to a media or group, if the media/group is moved, deleted, copied, pasted, or added to the Library, the marker goes with it.
• Use the Marker/Quiz button on the timeline to show or hide the marker view.
  
• When the marker view is open, you are in Marker mode which allows you to quickly and efficiently add new markers and edit existing ones.
• You must be in marker view to edit, view, or delete markers.
• When not in marker view, marker placement is seen above the timeline as green and blue indicators.
  • Green indicates timeline markers.
  • Blue indicates makers pinned to media.
