New in Premiere Pro (beta) you can choose to show markers in your transcripts in the Text panel so you can leave notes or place bookmarks in the transcript as you’re working! Give it a try and let us know what you think.
We’ve added support for both source clip markers and sequence markers. Markers on source clips are shown when viewing a source clip’s transcript, and markers on sequences are shown when viewing the sequence transcript. However, markers on source clips are not shown when viewing a sequence transcript.
To enable markers, click on the Transcript View Options button in the bottom right of the Text panel, then check the box for Markers. Your transcript will show extra line spacing even if no markers are present.
Work is still underway on this feature, but here is what you can try so far:
- Add a single marker: Place your cursor somewhere in the transcript and use the Add Marker keyboard shortcut (Default: M) to add a green marker.
- Add a ranged marker: Make a selection in your transcript and use the Add Marker keyboard shortcut (Default: M) to add a green ranged marker over the entire selection.
- Filter markers: Use the marker color checkboxes in the Markers panel (Window > Markers) to control which marker colors are visible across Premiere Pro, including the Text panel.
- Right click in your transcript and choose “Add Marker”.
- Use the Add [Color] Marker keyboard shortcut to add a marker or ranged marker of a specific color.
- Double click on an existing marker to open the Edit Marker dialog.
- Hover your cursor over a marker to see a tooltip with the marker Name and Comment.
We’ve been continuing to build more features for Text-Based Editing workflows, and we’re excited to bring you this top request. Please give markers in your transcript a try and let us know how it’s working for you and what other functionality you’d like to see us build!

I like the looks of this!
There are some other things about markers that have always bothered me a bit.
Can we improve this panel? Longer marker names always get truncated off.
1. Make the first column resizable or re-design this so the name field isn't so short.
2. Make the comment field the default field that is selected when hitting the (M+M) keyboard shortcut, so that less things are typed into the name field and more things are typed into the comment field.
Some other ideas, If keeping name as the default field is important. When hitting M+M, make it so you can CLOSE / accept the dialog box when in the comment field. Currently when you hit enter it adds a new paragraph in the comment field, there is no way that I know of to close the dialog box from the keyboard when the comment text input is active. Something like CMD+Enter would be nice. Or if the next option when tabbing through was the OK button that would also be acceptable something like:
-MM
-Tab to comment
-[Enter Text comment]
-tab to OK button
-Hit Enter.
Currently when you hit tab, it goes through about 15 other peices of the dialog box before landing on OK.
