Question

Markers on the clips

Hello,

 

I need the markers on the clips themselves. Even with “Selection Follows Playhead” activated, clips on the timeline are only selected when playback is stopped! This means you can’t add markers to clips on the fly—how lame is that?! So the markers are going to the sequence TC. 

Is there a way to transfer markers from the sequence to the clips?

 

thank you 

Alex

My (paid) tool Autoomation Blocks for Pr also has a tool to copy markers from the sequence to clips and vice versa:

    I'm not seeing that, at least on Beta 23.3.0 b3, Win11 23H2. With “Selection Follows Playhead” each clip is selected as it goes down the timeline, and I can press M to create markers along the way.

    There's this plugin - I haven't used it, but the folks at EditingTools.io make good apps.
