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.
