Question
Inconsistent marker behaviour when ripple editing
I’m seeing inconsistent timeline marker behaviour when using different ripple-editing methods in Premiere Pro since version 25.3.
In earlier versions, ripple edits did not delete markers. Since 25.3, it’s now easy to unintentionally delete markers depending on how a ripple edit is performed.
Example setup:
- Create a sequence with two clips back-to-back.
- Place a timeline marker at the start of the second clip.
- Trim the head of the second clip
Observed behaviour:
| Edit method | Resulting marker behaviour |
|---|---|
| Ripple Edit Tool | Marker moves earlier in the timeline, shifting onto the preceding clip |
| Ripple Trim shortcut (Q) | Marker is deleted |
| In/Out points + Extract | Marker is deleted |
| Cut + Sequence > Ripple Delete | Marker remains at the start of the second clip |
| Standard Delete or Sequence > Clear | Marker is preserved |
There needs to be clearer, more consistent rules around marker behaviour during ripple edits. Alternatively, this could be addressed with an option in the Markers menu (for example, “Ripple Edits Delete Sequence Markers”).
