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.

Much as I hate the removal of clip marker timeline functionality, there has been a LOT going on with Premiere Pro since CS3, whose biggest claim to fame was that it was now available for Macs, but offered little improvement for the already installed Windows user base. CS4 saw the implementation of the current user interface, a BIG improvement over CS3's separate windows. CS5 saw the transformation to a fully native 64 bit application, which was HUGE. It also introduced us to hardware acceleration, also HUGE.

5.5 was a minor update, whose most notable improvement was probably the Merge Clips feature for those who shoot dual system sound.

But CS6 adds a whole host of great new features which more than make up for some few drawbacks. Things like Adjustment Layers, unlimited multicamera angles, hover scrubbing, genuine full-screen playback, Render In to Out, ALT+drag in the sequence to make a copy of a clip, Rolling Shutter repair effect, uninterrupted playback, a much improved Audio Mixer interface, multichannel audio output, adaptive audio tracks, finally a 64-bit Encore, and how can we forget Mercury Transmit, which eliminates the need to work in a third-party sequence preset when monitoring with third-party hardware.

CS6 is overall the single biggest improvement to Premiere since it went Pro!

Now that I feel I've put things back into perspective, I do agree that the removal of clip marker functionality is not a good thing, and should be restored as quickly as possible.

Jim, you are right and thanks for correcting my statement. I was indeed talking about the whole Adobe Creative Suite in general, not only Premiere. Maybe the recent developement of After Effects is really what is annoying me the most. I will admit that Premiere has definitely seen some great improvements since CS3.

So sorry for my rant, I was just really shocked to realize that this feature was suddenly, without warning, taken out. I don't feel it's right for a software company to do that. I would really like to ask Adobe what they think we should use instead of clip markers? Timeline markers become useless after a few ripple edits as you know. I also don't want to rename my clips in the current workflow I'm doing. How should I make notes on my clips at specific points in time? Don't you feel like the possibility to input and organize time-based information is pretty important when edits get complex? For me, this is a must-have feature for any editing system. That's why I feel so disappointed that it was removed without any alternatives.

If this thread goes like a typical thread, someone will soon tell me to file a feature request. But not even the simplest features I have requested time and time again get implemented, so it feels like a waste of time. I also feel like we should not NEED to do feature request for things that are just common sense. Someone at Adobe should have realized how important clip markers are for certain workflows. It's really beyond me how they didn't. Is anyone at Adobe actually editing things with Premiere?

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?
