What I am getting in CS6 is I make a marker in the clip itself on the video track to match the clapper board sound to the separate audio I recorded (to its clapper board sound). I switch the screen to use audio units so I can scrub in many thousandths of a second to accurately match both clips using the markers i create in both audio and video clip waveforms.

(Basically syncing video and audio clips together.)

On re-opening the scene If I load up the track again, it seems the marker in a clip has moved!!! - usually the video clip sound file. So the sound will now be slightly off to what I matched up (to thousandths of a second). Does premiere not support this level of detail?.

As an editing tool this is a KEY FEATURE. So WHY does it NOT WORK?
Or can you please provide a solution please.

I also sometimes get a notification that the metadata isnt saving either, and dont know if this is affecting this, or how to resolve this.

I recieved this solution after filling out a request form, it worked for me:

The ability to add clip markers wasn't removed in CS6, however the way that you apply them was. Clip markers are applied in the Source panel. If you have a specific frame selected for a clip in the timeline, use the Match Frame keyboard shortcut (F) to open the clip in the Source panel and press the M key (or click the add marker button). Otherwise, navigate the clip directly within the Source panel and add your markers as needed.

Instead of speeding up your workflow adding clip markers appears to have additional moves as compared to CS5.

BTW why is the forum italic?

Not really, after you set up a keyboard shortcut, you can quickly add markers to clips.
The forum is not in italics, but your post was. Rather odd.

What is wrong is the way which must the mark be put. You must put the mark with the footage at the monitor source, and not when the footage is inside a sequence. Put the mark before to put the footage there. Do the following!

• Put the mark with the footage at the source monitor.

• Edit the mark and put a name in it. And other marks you wanna put it too.

• To synchronize with another, do the same thing as the steps above and edit the mark name with the same name you put the mark at the previous footage you want to sync.

• Put the footages inside a sequence. Select all and put to synchronize.

• The option "Clip Mark will be available. The option will search for clip marks with the same name. regardless it is a number or a name. Being the same and in commom with all footages. they will be shown at the list.

• Select the mark you want to syncrhonize and see the result.

Take care!

What CAN you do with clip markers in CS6? Nothing it seems?? After I add a marker in a clip, it shows up visually on the Timeline, but I can't do anything with it. In the "Marker" menu, "go to next/previous marker" are grayed out. Is this the problem you are referring to, rmartin215?

It is.... Multicamera is not the only reason for synchronizing. In my case, I want to compare two or more cameras that are operating at the same time.. re to video and audio quality .. I can synchronize by "eye" but that's not what I am paying for.

Adobe has dropped the ball with clip Markers with CS6. I hope they come out with an update soon and we do not have to wait for 6.5 next spring. Adobe did a lot of wonderful things with CS6 but obviously hacked some good features that were in 5.5 in the process. Sometimes if its not broke dont fix it for the sake of fixing it.

When I installed CS6 a while ago and saw how they butchered clip markers I was shocked, I almost considered going back to 5.5 just for the clip markers. I would imagine alot of us use clips markers in daily workflows when working with alot of footage. As nice as sequence markers are that are pointless after you place one then and do a ripple edit, markers are now out of sync with footage.

So I hope Adobe corrects/repairs/upates (whatever you want to call it) at some point soon. As much as an improvements they made with the timeline and the "editing experience", for me personally, they made my editing experience tougher with the hack job they did on the clip markers.

Has the clip marker problem been resolved in Premiere CS6. As of early July, it was not! Navigating, synchronizing clips seems impossible.

Can you explain your exact problems?

A in CS5, I would like to synchronize clips SIMPLY. Put a clip marker on each, and either synchronize manually, or by "synchronize." Is this ever going to be possible again?
