Multiple Marker Tracks
A possible scenario would be to create a marker track with cycle markers for sections of the audio and another marker track with important sync points in the video. You can also use multiple marker tracks to insert markers for different users in a network or different narrators in a movie.
Naming Marker Tracks
By default, the first marker track you create is called “Markers”, the second one “Marker 01”, and so on. If you work with multiple marker tracks, we recommend to name marker tracks according to their purposes.
You can name marker tracks by double-clicking on the marker track name in the track list or in the Inspector and entering a new name.
The Active Marker Track
When you are working with multiple marker tracks, only one track is active. All editing functions affect the markers on the active track only. You activate a track by clicking Activate this track in the track list.
The following rules apply:
-
When you add a new marker track, this track is automatically active.
-
When you remove an active track, the topmost marker track in the track list is activated. When using cycle markers for zooming, only the cycle markers of the active track are displayed on the Zoom pop-up menu.
-
When exporting an audio mixdown of the audio between the cycle markers, only the cycle markers of the active track are displayed in the Export Audio Mixdown dialog.
-
Most marker key commands affect the active track.
Locking Marker Tracks
You can lock one or more marker tracks by clicking the corresponding lock button of the track. When a marker track is locked, you cannot edit the track and its markers. However, you can still rename the track or change its status (active/inactive). In the Markers/ADR window and in the Project Browser, the unavailable features of a locked track are grayed out.
