GG,

Sorry for the frustration. Can you be more specific? Are you talking about Clip Markers or Sequence Markers? Markers in the Source Monitor, Program Monitor, or Markers in the Timeline? Please check the contextual menus in these areas of the UI. There are multiple ways to show and hide markers in each panel.

These forums are largely user to user. If you want to speak to devs about product quality and the kind of help you are not receiving with it, do so here.

Thanks,
Kevin

Sorry for the tone of my post. If you can remove it please do so.

I think your tone, while strong, is fine; you're right, that behavior _is_ frustrating, and not well documented.

Hey,

as with every complex software it´s a steam learning curve.

I worked on Avid Mc and Final Cut too.

Some things are easy on Avid other on FCP and some are easier on Premiere.

It does not matter where you come from or what you background is.

Editing by itself is a pretty complex task.

You have pictures, sound, music, video .... And you apply it into a system that has to deal with it.

By entering the first step you can make a lot of mistakes.

youtube is greate but it´s not my plattform of choise.

I use lynda.com

the tutorials are listed from beginners to advanced users.

And then there are tutorials for special tasks.

If you realy want to master the app and the Markers then you need to take some time and be a little patient.

Sometimes it´s good to take a workshop. I had a lot of workshops in the beginning.

But I have to admit, the markers in PP are not as advanced as in Avid.

I too feel sometimes lost.

But this is me not taking the time to explore it better.

I am not blaming the app or the programmer.

If you have sugestions for the changing of the marker system then lets hear what you would like.

there is a forum only for us the users, where we can propose new features.

it´s called feature request:

here is a link for this:

https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro

here is a link to some of the tutorials of lynda:

https://www.lynda.com/premiere-pro-training-tutorials/287-0.html?category=video_78

And if you want to make a degree:

https://www.fxphd.com/details/538/

this is the best you can do from home.

In the end I would suggest a workshop.

there you can get all the answers in a second.

I hope you find this interesting.

I was very lucky when I started I had realtime support.

Without this telefon support I would have been lost so many times.

That´s why I take the time to answer your question.

I wish you all the good and a lot of light in your life.

kind regards

Peter Lund

Maybe you have changed the "M" shortcut by mistake and it no longer create markers.

Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts

Then make sure that Add Marker has the assigned desired shortcut.

> Markers do not work.

Markers do work, but 'M' needs a target. Specifically...

If you open media in the Source monitor and type 'M', you'll get a marker at the current time. 'M' also works if you have a sequence open, and the timeline is active.

Sorry you haven't found the forums or help system useful.
