Question

Easy way to convert sequence markers to clip markers? (probably not, huh...)

I just placed multiple spanned markers on a multicam sequence. It's the only thing in that timeline so far.

 

Then I realized... wah wah waaahhh... That I actually need those same markers on the audio clip of the multicam itself (as clip markers)... but with a catch:

 

Say, for example, my first marker starts at 10 seconds in the multicam. It's when a certain musical note is hit. But, double clicking the multicam opens up the source sequence... and we see there that the actual audio clip doesn't actually start until 3 seconds in. So... that certain musical note actually sounds at 7 seconds into the audio clip, but 10 seconds into the entire sequence. Hope that makes sense. Probably doesn't.

 

I need the markers on the multicam, for reference in video editing, but I need those same markers on the audio clip itself, so I can find those notes and make some changes to the music in my DAW (a separate action). The thing is... I need the markers on the audio clip shifted over as well (starting at 7 seconds instead of 10).

 

Is it possible to:

1. Copy and paste the sequence markers to a clip as clip markers?

2. Select multiple markers (perhaps lasso) and move them forward/backward together? Or is there another/better way to do all this?

 

My wife tells me I do everything the hard way. Sorry in advance.

Thanks so much! I love the VideoRevealed tutorials, and I saw both of Colin's other ones on markers, but somehow I missed this one.

 

I think I'm going to have to make the playhead jump to the beginning and ending of each sequence marker, and then add clip markers, one at a time, at those timecodes. Was hoping to avoid the one at a time thing. Oh well.

Has there been any solution yet? I would like to create clip AND sequence markers at the same time while logging my footage so I can always see then when I add the source sequence or the individual clips to the source viewer window. The sequence in the source window only shows timeline markers, clips in the source windor logically can only show clip markers. Can I add both with one shortcut or copy them over to the sequence or copy and paste them all from clip to timeline or vice versa?
