The markers panel is missing a lot of useful functions. It could allow you to:

- delete markers
- change the color of a marker
- change the type of a marker

(without having to double-click)

The markers panel really needs some work. I just also created a request just like @TaranVH mentioned that the name column needs to be more accessible since it's "the main thing of a marker".

I really hope that this get's some love sometime.

 

@Kevin-Monahan Do you have any input about this? Maybe a status how this could be improved?

One small recommendation: pls have a look at how the markers work in Avid Mc. This was developed by users. And it works, is efficient and fun to use. With the Adobe markers the fun part is left out and I hate to use them. They are simply clumsy. If you need scripts to make them work, something is wrong.

Adobe, please take note, because here how creating & searching for markers should work....

1. I mark up a bunch of media and sequences.

2. I use the FIND command, then select MARKERS as a category and then type in the text I'm looking for like "hospital" or "b-roll" or "amazing".

3. Markers containing that text pop up in a find bin.

4. When I double click one of those markers in the find bin, the clip or sequence is opened up and the playhead is smack dab on the marker. Everyone's happy.

Please make this work. It's such a simple and obvious workflow--Avid's had it down for years. You guys are innovative enough, let's do this!

I would also love to see the Markers Panel improved. One of the things I'd love to add to the suggestions:

- Make all markers in the currently open sequence visible even if I have a specific clip selected. I really don't get why it always switches between no markers displayed.

I get that this may be how some people like to use it. But I'd love to see a setting to choose to always display all markers in the open sequence, with the option to include/exclude clip markers as well.

1. Play-Pause, J-K-L on the Function-Keys, while typing text in the marker panel. That would be really important, while transcribing and commenting
2. Possibillity to change Font-Size in marker-panel

Agree on so many of these suggestions:

-easier marker deletion
-the ability to name and color a marker without needing to click 5 times (currently I hit "m," then I need to double-click the marker, then type the name, then click and drag the "duration" to make the marker duration editable outside of the marker dialog, then hit ok, then click and drag the end point of the marker on the timeline to the appropriate distance. This is absurd.
-the marker panel is ridiculously un-intuitive and requires many clicks to use. When clicking on an existing sequence marker in the markers panel, rather than allowing me to directly edit aspects of that existing marker, instead the panel goes blank! What?! Again, insane and maddening. The only way i have found to prevent this is to click and drag on an existing marker's in or out point in the markers panel AND THEN I am able to click on the description or title of the marker. How does that make any sense?

What if they also merged in some sub-clip creation functionality? What if that was a "type" of marker in the dialog box? sub-clip in and out points? The marker features do need to be updated. Love that this is being put forward.

I agree with Tim! We should also be able to search for and edit by the results of a marker search.
