Marker Dialog Box

The Timeline Scene Marker dialog box lets you create and manage scene markers in the Timeline view.

Scene markers are visual indicators displayed at the top of the Timeline view in the frame counter area. You can use it to denote anything relevant to your work. You can indicate 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. If you hold the mouse cursor over a scene marker, its name, starting frame, duration and note will be displayed in the tool tip box.

  1. In the Timeline view, do one of the following:

    • If you want to create a scene marker at a single frame, select that frame on any layer.
    • If you want to create a scene marker that spans over several frames, select this range of frame on any layer.

  2. Right-click on the ruler at the top of the Timeline view and, in the context menu, select Scene Markers > Create Scene Marker.

NOTE If your scene already contains scene markers, you can also open this dialog box by clicking on a scene marker to select it, then right-clicking anywhere on the timeline ruler and selecting Scene Markers > Edit in the contextual menu.
