Hey guys,

Working on a big project and the markers I make on the clips and audio itself I keep deleting them cus I don't need them anymore but then when I close the project and re-open all the markers are back?? 

 

Ideas?? 

Correct answer R Neil Haugen

Wow. Clip markers or timeline markers?

 

And if you say copy the contents of a sequence, paste that on a new sequence, do the markers move also?

Seeing the same issue in 24.VeryRecent ( 24.6.2? On Win - sorry don't have exact specs). 

 

Finishing workflow in a production. Project is added to production, sequence duplicated and moved to fresh project ((in the production) and clips generated (so only clips relevant to that sequence are in the project)

 

For me it seems like the markers that keep returning are clip markers that are embedded in a source clip (i.e. the reference file for the sequence prior to being conformed.

Hey Trevor!

What I'm understanding right now is that you're duplicating your sequence by right-clicking the sequence in your Project Panel and selecting "Duplicate." If you create a fresh sequence in the fresh project, then select all clips and copy/paste into the new sequence, does that help? It's a small difference, but may be the trick.

 

Would it be possible for you to share a screen recording of your process, starting when you add the project to your production? It might help us see what's going wrong.

 

Happy to help,

Caroline

I duplicate to keep existing track effects. The persistent clip markers are annoying but not insurmountable.

Close the project, dump the cache files, relaunch Premiere and the project. See if that fixes this.

Hey Makavelixthadon,

 

Sorry for the issue. Which version of Premiere Pro are you currently using? Would it be possible for you to share a screen recording of the issue? That would help us better understand the problem. Please share your system specifications as well (OS, OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM).

 

Thanks,

Ishan
