marker

A visual reference point in the Timeline that identifies a specific frame. You can use markers to align different objects at specific points in time, quickly navigate to specific points in a sequence, add notes about a specific area in your project, and more. There are several kinds of markers:

  • Project markers are fixed to a specific frame or timecode value in the Timeline ruler.

  • Object markers are attached to an object (or clip) in the Timeline.

  • Template markers control the timing of templates that you export to Final Cut Pro X.
