Question

(Bug) Selecting Marker auto selects clip below as well - Markers dissappear

As seen in the GIF below, I'm simply trying to cycle through my markers on the timeline. Selecting the Next Marker using the Markers window (Or by using Shift-M shortcut) automatically select a clip below as well. This forces the Markers to dissappear as they are markers on the Sequences timeline and not the individual clips.  Is this normal behavior?  Is there a way to tell Premiere not to automatically select clips when I click on a marker?  THank you!!

 

I'm on v25.1 (Build 73)
Windows 11

@Geoffrey37968971duzb Good news, there are two different options that can help. First of all, the clip is becoming selected because you have Sequence > Selection Follows Playhead turned on. This means that when the playhead moves, the clip underneath it is selected. This feature respects the enabled tracks, so I'm guessing you only have that bottom track enabled in the track header. So, you can turn off this setting and you won't have the clip selected.

 

Second, the Markers panel has an option in the panel menu (three horizontal lines) called "Ignore Timeline selection" where it wont change its display based on what is selected in the timeline. 

 

Hopefully either of those options will help!

Beautiful. Thank you for the help.

I forgot to add that the current workaround is to click off the clip to get the markers back, which you can see in the gif.  But is very annoying of course.
