Select and delete/copy/move multiple markers at once + more

Markers should be movable as simply as we move footage. Select multiple markers by dragging, then delete or copy/paste. Ripple delete moves markers on a sequence, but doesn't delete the markers inside the in/out of the ripple delete. Select all forward doesn't select markers.

For people like me who only/mostly work on scripted shows I use markers all the time. It would be lovely if they were more malleable.

Trying to find a way to copy sequence markers to the source clip - I have a sequence uploaded to frame.io where a client added timestamped sequence markers that sync to a timeline - problem is that I now wish to trim that sequence down to just the selects and/or use the source clip elsewhere, but the markers don't follow the edits or move with the source clip. Super frustrating....

Currently trying to figure out how to move a massive amount of markers because I needed to ripple delete something halfway through the timeline.

Additionally, marker movements should be undo-able, just like any other edits you make to the project.

This is one of my main issues with this program. Half of the time, having Markers on a timeline makes the editing experience harder, not easier. We should be able to select footage and markers at the same time.

markers need so much work in PP - Track Select Forward Tool doesn't work - so if you have a complex timeline with multiple video and audio tracks that you need to keep in sync - there's is actually NO WAY to move clips around and move seq markers along - how hard can it be to implement a method to move several markers at once or make an option to lock and offset seqs makers with a particular clip? This is a massive dealbreaker for me ...

I was looking up solutions for the same thing - agree

Ok, actually, I realized that the Ripple Sequence Markers does work!! I thought it was a button I had to use every time, but it's actually a function you can turn on and off, and alas it works! I kept inadvertently turning the function off since I was treating it like a keyboard shortcut. So, yay for that problem being solved. Hope this helps those that posted earlier.

Agreed!!! I'm frustrated trying to edit and none of my markers are moving as I trim in my sequence so the markers are now moot. I tried using the Ripple Sequence Markers button but it isn't working either, so I'm sure I'm using it wrong. Ugh!

love this idea, and could really use it today if it was available! dragging and dropping markers from timeline to clip and vice versa.

100% this.
Track Select Forward Tool does not affect markers on a sequence timeline which is a big headache when it comes to organization.

I'd like to add... command+clicking a marger and sliding it is nice. I wish I could command+shift+click a marker and ripple slide all the markers up and down the timeline.

I also wish the markers on the timeline could be more tied to the clips. Using markers on clips is too hard to see them. The visibility of the markers on the timeline is so much nicer than the visibility of them on individual clips.

I'd like a setting that just gave me a duplicate marker on the timeline for every clip marker.. and then deleting one would delete its counterpart.
