The markers panel is missing a lot of useful functions. It could allow you to:

- delete markers
- change the color of a marker
- change the type of a marker

(without having to double-click)

I bump two of the best wanted functionality from Piotr's video:
- The ability to view Clip- and Sequence markers at the same time. Crucial.
- Export marker stills and comments in a excel format (as in Kyno). Makes logging a breeze.

I made a video about what I think is missing.

Although I forgot to mention that you should be able to delete markers in the panel 😄 Crucial as well.
Let's vote for this thread. We need better markers experience and more possibilities to work with them.

It should not be too hard for Adobe to have a Preferences setting as to whether setting a marker should open the Markers Panel without having to double click with EXTREME precision on the marker itself. I also use markers as beat signposts and in those cases I wouldn't want the panel to open. But when shotlisting a speech it would be fab to be able to just type in a comment without having to stop/pick up the mouse/line up the cursor/double click.

Yeah, it should work if a clip is selected, but it doesn't. I get around placing different colored markers with the shortcuts by loading up the clip into the source monitor, but shouldn't have to.

We can assign a marker color as a shortcut but only on the timeline. We can't place markers on a clip found in a sequence.

I also wouldn't want the marker dialog to come up automatically (double-clicking works ok for this) but the ability to assign a shortcut to particular marker colors would be a big improvement. For example...As someone else said, markers are handy for assigning moments in musical beats but I like to assign different colors for sections of song (red is intro beats, green is verse beats, white are musical breaks, etc). Right now I have to stop playing the song in order to change colors or go back through at the end. It would be great to just hit a key for each as the song plays.

I would be very opposed to having the marker dialog open when setting a marker because most of the time I'm using markers to mark beats of music, or places that need work. It's already so easy to just tap the marker shortcut key twice when you need to put a note in.

The easiest way to add functionality would be if hitting "m" to set a marker OPENED the marker box, rather than requiring a double-click. Then it would be easier to change colour, add comments, change the span of the marker etc.

This thread mentions a lot of additional features, but let's not get ahead of ourselves: why not first update the marker panel so that markers function the same way there as they do on the timeline?

Delete Selected Marker is the most glaring omission. i can't right-click and do that from the (non-existent) context menu in the Markers panel, but i can do it by right-clicking the marker in the timeline. Doesn't make sense.
