Using Markers

Entering Comments to Clip Markers

You can add a comment to clip markers that have been set.

1) Display a clip set with a clip marker on the Player.

2) Right-click on the clip marker on the position bar, and click [Edit clip marker].

  • When multiple clip markers are set on the same position on the position bar, [Edit clip marker] is not available.

3) In the [Edit Marker] dialog box, enter a comment and click [OK].

  • Entered comments are displayed on the Player when the slider is moved to the clip marker. When a clip marker with range has been set, the comment is displayed while the slider on the Player is in the In and Out point range of the clip marker.

    Comments are displayed on the Player also during playback. However, comments displayed during playback are only those of clip markers with range.

  • Comment carriage return: [Ctrl] + [Enter]

  • You can also edit entered comments by the same operation.

  • Additions, deletions and edits made to clip markers are automatically reflected on clips in the bin. To leave behind the information of a clip before it is edited, register that clip to the bin as a different clip in advance.

    Registering between In and Out Points to the Bin As a Separate Clip (Subclip)

    When you add, delete, and edit the clip marker with a clip on the timeline displayed on the Player, register it to the bin as another clip, if necessary.

  • When a clip set with a clip marker has been placed on the timeline, the comment is displayed on the Recorder when the timeline cursor is moved to the position of the clip marker. When a clip marker with range has been set, the comment is displayed on the Recorder while the timeline cursor is between In and Out points of the clip marker.

    Comments are displayed on the Player also during playback. However, comments displayed during playback are only those of clip markers with range.
