FEATURE REQUEST: Shortcut to make extended marker based on In/Out range

[Michael29611552zp7e]

CURRENT WORKFLOW:

I add extended markers on my clips while logging footage to mark sound bites, good sections of a long broll clip, etc... To do this I play the clip and add an In point at the start of a soundbite/broll section, play until the end of the bite or broll. My range is marked. I look at the duration of the In/Out and make a note of it. Then I hit the keyboard shortcuts to Go to In, Add Marker (twice, to open the marker box), Alt+Tab to go to the Duration box in the marker window, type the duration I noted from my In/Out points, then Tab again to add notes in the Name box of the marker window. Finally, I hit Return to close the marker box and go back to logging my clip.

THE PROBLEM:

This is a very convoluted workflow with a lot of keypresses (about 8-10 keypresses). It is workable, but it would be ideal if the process were streamlined. See feature request below.

FEATURE REQUEST:

Add a keyboard shortcut option to Add Extended Marker Based on Marked Range, or something to that effect. Ideally, I would watch a clip and mark my In/Out range, execute this shortcut and it would add an extended marker that matches the In/Out range I already made. This would make Extended Markers much faster to add, less prone to duration errors, and ultimately more useful.

My move from FCP7 to Premiere a decade ago was painful, this being one of the reasons.

I use Keyboard Maestro and Stream Deck and can't even create a macro to do it, due to the functionality being limited to clicking the mouse at arbitrary points in the screen.

In FCP7 I could create a marker and extend it within 2 ultra quick shortcuts.  Not only was it quick but it was precise, to-the-frame.

I have no idea why Premiere overlooked this, and why they've kept it so after all this time and decided to make markers extendible ONLY with the mouse. It's one of the biggest set backs for me when working on documentary footage as well as commercial. 

Creating a 1 frame marker is only half of the functionality of Markers.  Extending them is the other half.

Having a shortcut to the first, but not to the latter, undermines the overall functionality.  It's for this reason I can't use markers in fast paced turnarounds, and have to rely on other methods to organize clips.

When Adobe dropped Prelude, they said "We have taken learnings from Prelude and shifted our development focus towards streamlining pre-production workflows in Premiere Pro."

I haven't noticed any of Prelude's features in PP yet, but the one you  suggested is very good. - Upvoted.

@Michael29611552zp7e and @davidterranova, how about the ability to create a subclip from extended markers? If anyone creates that request, I will upvote there, as well. Cheers.

Thanks,
Kevin

It's July 2025 and Adobe still hasn't made a shortcut to create a range marker which I can then use to create a subclip. Insane.
