Create range marker with in/out markers and get in/out markers from range marker

This one is kind of related to this feature request:
 

 

But I miss this feature not only for clips but entirely and especially for timelines.

It would be a great additional quality of life feature that reduces multiple steps to only one and make Premiere more keyboard friendly.

At the moment it looks like this:

  1. I add a marker
  2. I split the marker
  3. I drag drop the marker end point to the desired position (or set the timecode in the marker popup window)

Splitting the marker is only possible by either mouse (alt+click) or the marker popup window where you can set the duration.

A command that would take io/out markers as an orientation would be only one step.

 

The other way around would be useful for getting a range you want to export without the need to:

  1. Navigate to the range marker start point
  2. Set in marker
  3. Navigate to the range marker’s end point (of course that can only be done with mouse if you want it to snap to the exact point as the “go to next marker” command ignores the end points of range markers)
  4. Set out marker

Instead it should be either a command in the context menu or take the marker that’s at the moment under the playhead (and ignore it if there are overlapping ranges)

 

Seems like a little feature but makes a big difference if you extensively work with range markers.

    There are numerous Idea requests on this, some with a number of upvotes. I’ve posted one long ago for allowing a held-down key-short on playback to drop a start of the marker, end set on lifting up the keyshort.

     

    This idea you’ve posted is also to my recollection already posted, but the changes in the forum might make it hard to find right now.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    I did only find the one I linked. If you could tell me the name of the one with the many uploads, I could add mine too :)

    I’m wondering how many Ideas are actually available at this time, due to the forum change. I know no posts between November and two days ago are visible.

     

    Past that, did you do a search or just look down through the list? The new forum ... is not, to me, an improvement, still having to figure out how to get somewhere even sort of close to the abilities I had before.
