Tip #1279: Marker Tips & Tricks

Larry Jordan – LarryJordan.com

Markers are perfect for navigation, or just leaving yourself a note.

Markers do so much in Premiere, it is hard to list all the options. But here are some of my favorites:

• Markers are always placed at the position of the playhead.
• You can add markers in the Source Monitor or Program Monitor
• If a clip is selected, markers are added to the clip. If not, they are added to the timeline.
• Markers can be dragged into a new position.
• Double-click a marker to open it for editing.
• Markers can have titles, descriptions/transcripts and/or colors.
• Comment markers can be exported and added to QuickTime and MP4 movies.
• The Markers panel displays all sequence markers and enables jumping between them.
