An option to attach markers to clips in multitrack view, rather than attaching them to the timeline

[mattbaume]

Currently in Audition's multitrack editor, markers can only be attached to the timeline. It would be helpful to have an option to attach markers to individual clips, so that when those clips are moved in the timeline the markers move with them.

The only way to achieve this right now is to go into waveform view and place a marker there. This is pretty inconvenient and involves a lot of clicking back and forth between views.

I can't believe this doesn't exist. Get on it, product team!

[craigc68070674]

Can't believe this functionality doesn't already exist.

I'm surprised this doesn't exist yet and only has 47 votes so far. I imagine a lot more people want this and just don't know where to look. I've seen this discussed many places over the course of what looks like many years.

How many votes to Adobe do this? Cause this "feature" looks so standard, right?

[Paul Swaddle]

+1 for this. So infuriating this isn't possible.
MVP should be to highlight a number of markers and move them to a new time location, e.g. the start of a moved clip.
Better would be to apply markers to a clip, or to one track, and be able to independently move markers associated when you move the clip around. Ideally, these markers would use the Track Color to match visually.
Best would be if global markers and markers on other tracks were hidden/greyed out based on the current selection, making it clear which markers are relevant when selecting audio.
Thanks.

+1 Using timecode, I mark in the track where events should take place (lighting, pyro, etc), I need those to move with edits in the MUSIC, not be stuck to an arbitrary spot on the timeline.

PLEASE finally introduce this basic feature that is taken for granted everywhere else.
And give us bins. A feature that has been promised for 5 (?) years.

[Ang5D11]

this issue is so annoying , please add this feature!!

[DrCropperPT]

I can't understand why something that would improve workflow a great deal wasn't seen as important a long time ago. I need the workflow boost.

[Nazanin]

I totally agree with this. 2 years on and you still haven't fixed this. It wastes a lot of time going back and moving markers once you edit audio.

[LionCrower]

@adobe can please have our markers attached to the audio in multitrack and they move with the selected piece. When adding in the intro, my markers are all out. Seems this has been asked for over the years too.

[Zdziebko]

I need that function as well. I don't understand, why Adobe doesn't listen to users needs...

[The Fritz]

Holy ****, is there no fix for this? I found a setting in the "Markers & Metadata" setting that allows you to "Lock markers and metadata to the timeline" with a toggle on and off. I turned it off, but the markers don't move whenever I move the clips... wtf Adobe, when you edit a podcast, you listen through it once, make notes on your markers, then go back and add effects and music based on those markers. When they don't move, you are constantly hunting for the next marked spot...

[The Fritz]

PLEASE!!!!

[Andreas2222367834dx]

Hey! Please fix this. Countless hours are going to waste in the world by moving perfectly placed markers!

[TechMSS]

It is shocking to me that it's 2021 and this functionality still isn't available.

I'm a professional audio journalist with several years experience at NPR, as well as producing multiple podcasts for member stations and media organizations. Please believe me when I tell you this one change would be SO HELPFUL TO EVERYONE.

This is the one feature that keeps Audition from being a perfect DAW. *Please* give us the option to anchor markers to clips. The current workarounds make markers far less useful than they should be, and push people toward other DAWs that can do this, like ProTools.

[defaultpsuuungc60qm]

I cut the clip and change colour to yellow or something, to indicate I need to go back and sort that bit out later, or something like that.

[James2017]

The inability to anchor markers to clips in multitrack is insane. I literally want to change DAW. Why can't Adobe fix this?

[Troy Lamberth]

I produce an internationally aired radio program five days a week. This function is so needed. I really like Audition, but not including this feature is just silly. PLEASE add this to the application!!

[Gabriela Agape]

Can't happen soon enough. There are only near 70 votes here but imagine how many people have just done the research and given up!

[GeekNightsRym]

As a professional podcaster, this would be extremely useful. Especially in the COVID era where many of my guests and hosts are remotely recording.

The markers are in multitrack from the entire session. But then I move and edit clips, and I would like the markers to be "pegged" to one of the tracks so they always line up with the same content.

I'm adding markers as we record, so I know where edits are going to be for a largely "direct-to-tape" pipeline.

[thiagoverg]

Come on guys. Is it really hard to do?

Markers move together as you edit your audio content, it doesn't seem like an impossible thing to fix, and it really does feel like a basic function.

I think this topic is not reaching the team to solve this.

[thiagoverg]

We need a campaign to more votes.. maybe adobe listen to us. Frustrating!

[Geracsso]

I’ve tried to share this on Twitter and Reddit a few times but nothing seems to be happening…

[adrianal59024999]

For me, markers are rendered useless if I can't move them along with the audio. Please add this functionality!
