Incredibly simple improvements to the 'Markers' window to allow a really fast logical new workflow

I’ve just had to deal with a project that used very few clips, but they were very long with many different moments in them.    I added many markers throughout the clips thinking I’d base my workflow around those markers.   I then opened the “Markers” window in the UI imagining that this would be the core tool to get my markers into timelines.  But how wrong I was, this window is next to useless. 

Much to my surprise the Markers window in the UI is incredibly underpowered.    It doesn’t even open the source monitor if it’s not already open on that clip so you can’t even orientate what your source clip is using this interface.  

The changes below would be incredibly quick to make and genuinely allow a whole new workflow and way of working purely with markers that I think many would find useful.  
 

  1. Make the source monitor load the clip when we double click an item in the Marker window.    Currently if the source monitor is closed we don’t even go to that clip and don’t know which it is!   If this has some issue I can’t think of to implement, then add a right mouse click option for it.  ie a “Goto source clip”
  2. There should be an auction possible to add the marker in/out point straight to the timeline you are in.    If there can’t be a button in the table interface then again a right mouse click option..
  3. Create a subclip from marker in/out.   
  4. Drag/drop marker into timeline 

 

Just imagine for a second if the markers UI supported these ideas.   You could run through clips adding markers and then use this window to build timelines incredibly quickly thanks to the quick search/visual interface of the Markers window.   It would be SO powerful!

    1. Now in beta: range markers can be set to in and outpoint on the timeline
