don't cut sequence markers when cutting clip on timeline that overlaps a sequence marker

In PP 2026, if there’s a sequence marker on a timeline  that overlaps a clip, when I cut the clip, it eliminates the sequence marker. I can see where this is helpful in some instances. However, for the most part, I’d rather not cut the sequence marker. It’s especially problematic when me or my editor has put information on the marker (i.e., Name, Comments, etc.); I don’t want to lose that info or have to resurrect the marker from an older sequence (or an Auto Save project) if the marker gets cut. Is there a way to have a Setting that lets me choose the behavior? The workaround I can think of is to temporarily move the sequence marker, cutting the clip, then moving the marker back.

    No; I posted the link to see if an employee can get it restored now.

    This is incredibly frustrating and inconsistent behavior - and different tools produce different outcomes.

    If you delete the clip and then ripple delete the empty space, the marker will be preserved (as in the old version).

    @KazuT,

    There’s a nice thread on this that won’t get moved over to the new forum for a bit.

    Can staff move it now? This was its address:

    If not, maybe I’ll paste the whole thing in tomorrow!

    Don’t know why that turned blue and can’t turn it off yet….
