Setting Scene Markers
Scene markers are visual indicators displayed at the top of the timeline in the frame counter area. You can use it to denote anything relevant to your work. You can indicate at the frames you want to clean up, a change in action, an impact, or where you intend to apply an effect. You can also add a note to a scene marker, which is displayed when you hover over the scene marker.
There are two ways to add a scene marker. You can make a frame range selection and mark that whole section or simply mark the current frame.
