Markers not populating

Not sure if this is a bug or not.

Basically, I have my clips marked accordingly.

But when I type in what I'm looking for nothing populates from my bins. 

Why?
*update* 

Nothing worked, not sure why it was marked as the answer.

Didn't do anything.

It'a a shame, it should be a feature where I simply highlight a bin and can search for key terms which would then populate on the markers panel rather than having to select individual clips for the markers panel to populate.

Yes but that's the problem, only for a single sequence at a time.

I think the solution is to use metadata, I'll transfer the info from my markers to each individual file I guess. 😞


If you already have the information in markers, you could move it to the project by enabling these (in PPro --> Preferences --> Media):


NOTE: Test with some disposable example media, and a safety copy of your .prproj, before deciding to take that approach. 🙂

Have you chosen to see clip markers in the Markers panel?

This will only work for a sequence, not for bins, though.

I think you're talking about metadata ... stuff you've put in those colurmns. Technically, "markers" are the comment things applied with the M shortcut on clips in the Source monitor or Timeline panel, or if in Timeline and no clip selected, the sequence itself.

 

But it looks like you've made entries in metadata columns.

 

If you open a bin, do the indvidual files show correct metadata?

Hi, I don't use metadata columns except for AUDIO AND VIDEO usage. 

I know if I click on a clip, markers on said clip will populate in the markers section with the keyword i've written;

however

is there no way to write a keyword and have all your markers populate for everything in the project?

We'd need a staffer I think to fully answer your questions. As far as I know, markers and the metadata columns of information are separate systems.

 

For users, @Jarle Leirpoll might know, or @Warren Heaton10841144 . But maybe @Bruce Bullis would know who on sfaff could help?
