Add marker to clip in timeline

How do you add a marker to a clip in the timeline in Premiere Pro CC?

You'll need to have the clip loaded in the source monitor in order to see its clip marker. You'll only see sequence markers directly in the sequence and/or program monitor.
You should see all the markers in the timeline (sequence) however. My previous post http://forums.adobe.com/message/6073832#6073832 shows multiple, "aligned" (using Adobe's definition of "aligned") clip markers on different clips. All of those markers were added by pressing M while the clip was selected.
I should add this though: I am pretty sure during my frustrating experience of using clip markers in the past two weeks that I have also had a clip refuse to mark. So the original poster may have encounterd he same bug that I also experienced - in which case nothing wrong is being done, and good luck resolving it - short of starting the project fresh and hoping not to trigger the software defect again.
Unlike the original poster I didn't delve into that issue deeper at the time because I was just trying to get the damn job done - which required 3 complete rebuilds of the project from scratch. 7.2.1 is FULL of software defects as far as I have witessed. I am reverting to CS6 until Adobe spends more time on careful development and testing and less on "features" in their future releases.

Mark Clip - X shortcut doesn't work for some reason. Is there an easy way to mark a clip without going into Source Monitor?

Hi guys,
I'm using Premiere Pro CC on Windows 8.1 Pro. The Mark Clip function - X shortcut key by default doesn't seem to work.
I know that if I go into Source Monitor I can mark the clip in there but WHY ? In the old day of CS5.5 I can mark a clip (not timeline) as quick indicator for frame / sound issue of a particular clip. One key press and I'm done.
So, is there an easy way to mark a clip in Premiere Pro CC without going into Source Monitor?
Cheers!

Hi Mark and everyone looking to find the answer,
After experimenting, I figured out the answer. This applies for the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC (as of 01-Sep-2014) ver 8.0.1 (build 21)
Context: You want to add a marker to a specific clip instead of a sequence but you can't seem to do it.
Why?
    - X key (or Mark Clip as Premiere Pro CC calls it) doesn't add a Marker to a clip. What it does is using the clip you are selecting as reference for Mark In / Out of your current sequence.
    - M key (or Add Marker as Premiere Pro CC calls it) will add a marker to your clip.
   HOWEVER:
    If you are not expanding your clip to see the wave form or clip thumbnail, the marker on the clip will not show up. It used to show up in CS5.5!!!!!! Why not in CC!!!?!
    It will only add the marker to the clip you are selecting. Track targeting does not matter.
    If you don't select any clip, it will add a marker to your sequence.
Example: (This is the same clip and sequence)
How it looks with marker added.
Track targeting does not matter - reference number 1
Current selected clip is is the key - reference number 2
    2. How it looks with marker added but you can't see
    3. How it looks if you don't select the clip and hit M
Hope this help!
Cheers!

How to jump to next marker of selected clip in timeline?

So, I finally figured out how to mark my clips in CS6, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to navigate between clip markers in the timeline. There's an obscure reference in the help files but as far as I can tell it's talking about sequence markers, not clip markers?
I have a clip selected, there's a marker in it, all I want to do is jump to it in the timeline. How?

Clip marker timeline navigation has been removed. Please file a feature request to restore all the clip marker functionality we had in every previous version of PP.

How to add "clip marker" to clip in sequence?

Hi,
i need to add markers to clips in my sequence. In 5.5 i'd just select the clip in the sequence and then go Marker > Clip Marker > Set. I don't see this option in 6, was it moved or removed? Right now i have to add a few steps and double click the clip in the sequence to load it into the viewer and then add a marker and that's a complete waste of time. Is this the only way to do it in 6?
Thanks

Thanks Ann,
in case anyone else needs this. here's an image.

How to add a gap clip above main storyboard

In FCPX I would like to add a "gap" clip above my main timeline edit so I can add markers - see http://fcpx.tv/Pages/tips6.html for the idea.
This will then be the length of my edit.
Unfortunately I have not found a way to drag a gap clip or insert a gap clip other than add a small clip at the beginning and end and ad on in the middle (which I don't really want to do. Any ideas?
Thanks

… Basically I miss the timeline markers that used to be in FCP 7 and before - by using a single clip above my storylinre this efectively gives me the same option.
but … your storyline IS the timeline ....
why not applying the markers there?
the storyline defines the timing, the content, the pace, the … story. If you change any position there, your 'marker track' is completely useless/out of synch!
(sorry for being stubborn, but I really don't understand why TWO, independent ( ! ) timelines are needed for one project )

Premier Pro CC 2014 - Add Marker Suggestion

Not sure your common uses on this Add Marker that is on the toolbar above the video editing pane but it would be nice to assign what marker you want by default. I always use Add Chapter Marker mostly myself so it would be nice to be able to change what the Add Marker is instead of right clicking on the video preview window and selecting Add Chapter Marker. It would save me 2 actions to get to the Add Chapter Marker by allowing me to specify what the Add Marker will be.
Thanks,
Kenneth

Also...
Add to right click menu of timelines an entry for "go to next keyframe" and "go to last keyframe" a la After Effects, we should also be able to assign a kb shortcut to this.
There are buttons on either side of the create keyframe button to advance forward or backward in the effects control panel or timeline.
You can also advance forward or backward in the effects control window by holding shift while dragging the playhead.
Allow copy/paste of selection of audio/video effects, not just one at a time. Sure we can copy/paste attributes but since we can also copy/paste effects it would only make sense to allow to copy/paste a selection of effects.
I guess I don't get this one. If I have 5 effects on a clip, I can simply command-click on the ones I want to copy over to the other clip.

Can I add a favorite from my timeline

I have dragged all my Favorites into the timeline instead of marking them as favorites in my event folder, so I was wondering if I could somehow mark them as favorites just in case i want to change my edit later?

When you add clips to the timeline they are copied, NOT linked, from your event. So basically you can just go back to your event and mark those clips as favorites in there, after the fact.

Unable to play preview clip on timeline Premiere Elements 10

All of a sudden, I'm unable to preview clips, even in unfinished projects that used to work. I'm running Premiere Elements 10, Windows 8.1, Flash updated etc. These clips are activated, not rendered (red line above) but doesn't show. However, if I play the clip, I can hear the sound. Sometimes the program crashes, and I have to start all over again.
Update: Now, when I click on the clip on the timeline, preview window shows one frame, while the marker continues to "play" the clip(without showing anything but the first frame as a still picture. When hitting pause again, preview window shows a still where the clip was stopped...This happens on some of the clips on the timeline. Some are just pure black
Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 64 bit
Pls help

Yes, that could be it!
I do have a NVIDA graphics card! And it's updated with the latest drivers...
Now, I'll have to find out how to do a roll back...I'll read the thread you suggested and hope for the best!
Thanks for the answer!
Additional info:
Some of the clips that wont play in the preview or full screen window, shows a still picture when setting thetimeline to it AND THE clicking on the preview window. A still shows up, but nothing happens when a hit play. Some of the clips are from my GoPro Hero3 Black, but they seem to pay fine as long as I havn't used zoom on them. On many GoPro clips I've used zoom to minimize the "fisheye" effect, and then it wont play.

Any chance you could be part of a growing crowd of Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA video card users who have run into the NVIDIA video card driver issue. For the now of this issue, the answer seems to be to roll back the driver version rather than assure that you have the latest version of it.
Please check out the following thread here where I have sought to keep track of these happenings.

Please let us know if any of that might apply to your situation.....what video card, what computer operating system?
Thanks.

Add multiple transitions on the timeline?

Is there a way to add multiple transitions on the timeline. I edit 200 clips to music and I need to add a transition (the same transition, a dissolve) between each clip. I cannot add the transition when I pull them from the bin because they need to be edited to a soundtrack first.

1. Select your video clips.
2. Disconnect the a1 & a2 tabs on your destination controls (left side of the timeline.)
3. Move your playhead to the beginning of your timeline, or at the start of the first clip that is selected.
4. Drag the selected clips to the Canvas and drop the clips on the overlay for Overwrite w/ Transition.
This will overwrite your video clips on your timeline with the same video clips but will add your default transition between each edit point.

Locking clips to timeline - how?

How do I 'lock' a video clip in place on my timeline?
I'm trying to have a video clip start at a particular point in the music I'm using. I align the video clip, but when I make other modifications, the clip gets out of sync. I'm flexible on where some photos/video go in my project, but certain clips must coordinate to my music.
Any feedback would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

When your video is an attached clip it is anchored at the attachment point to a frame in the main storyline clip. Any ripple that moves the clip in the main storyline (in this case your audio) will not change the connection point of the video. It will ripple along with the audio in the main storyline. You add the video clip as an attached clip using the Q key after selecting the clip in the browser or Connect to main storyline choice from the Edit menu.

What is the 'add marker' feature used for in iMovie 10?

Can anyone tell me what the 'add marker' feature is used for in iMovie 10, I cant find any documentation on it anywhere, it doesnt even show under the help menu???

hmm… well observed!
In iMovie, markers are actually just… blue dots.
In its bigger brother, FCPX, markers are…
Markers overview
Markers are reference points you can place within clips to locate, identify, annotate, and navigate to specific frames. In editing, markers are particularly useful for synchronizing two or more clips at a specific point. For example, you can use a marker to label the frame where a door slams and then snap a sound effect to that marker. You can use markers to flag a specific location in a clip with editing notes or other descriptive information. When you add chapter markers to specific points in your project, viewers can use the markers to quickly jump to those points in the movie after it’s been exported or burned to DVD or Blu-ray disc. You can also use markers for task management.
Markers are classified as standard markers (blue), chapter markers (orange), to-do items (red), or completed to-do items (green).
so, maybe, this indicates some forthcoming features in iMovie (wohooo, speculation!)?
(iMovieX indicates some forthcoming features of next FCPX.1… but this is another story)
There's one meaningful use, which comes to my mind:
Edit to the beat:
While your project is playing, you can 'tap' onto the M key…
and not just 'per beat', but more like 'dancing', highlights, pauses, drama…
In a second step, you can use the dots, to find the perfect point for edit.

Created effect on clip in timeline. Want to save it for use later..

     I realize I can't drag a clip from the Timeline into the Event Library. So frustrating. So how do I go about setting that clip aside with the effects I have applied so I can use it later in various places in my timeline. I don't want it in the timeline now. I want to use it later with the effects I have created, or is that not possible?

   I can't seem to do any of that in the event library. As far as I can tell, I can only add effects to clips in the timeline. I have the clip in the timeline and I have created effects. Now I want to remove it from the timeline and not lose the time I have spent creating those effects. I don't want it cluttering up my timeline and I don't want to have to redo all the effects. Is there no way to do this? I'm assuming not. I did find that I could create another event and copy/paste a clip into the event and "save" for later use that way, which seems a really lousy kludge.
   If I'm correct that there is no way to save a clip from the timeline for later use, do you think this is just a temporary failing or just part of the way FCPx will always work. I am continuing to explore how FCPX deals with editing and playing with unimportant footage and keep hitting walls like this. I try to figure out if it's just a paradigm shift I need to make but things like this and the inability to copy/paste attributes and such just make me crazy. I'm working hard to move from the unsupported FCPStudio and I know that Premiere will have its own "make me crazy" issues but these limitations as compared to FCP Studio are really frustrating and I just can't tell when I run into problems that will be addressed in a .X release vs problems that are simply "how it's always going to work in FCPX".

Imovie'11 PIP won't place video clip on timeline

Using Imovie'11 (on latest version) and YES I have advance features turned on:
I want to add a PIP clip (or cutaway or side by side). When I drag a new clip over it and let go the new clip goes before (or after) the existing clip. I don't get the popup sub menu to add the PIP cutaway etc.
I tested with a photo and it works fine - so I know I have advance features turned on.
Any thoughts/help?
Thanks !!!

Hi
Just a vild thought.
Project window set in:
- Timeline mode (one row of thumbnails) - or -
- in wrapped mode - several rows of thumbnails
Yours Bengt W

IMovie '11 on 10.6.8 greys out contents of library, so I cannot drag and drop clips to timeline.

This has happened on multiple occasions. I don't know why Apple can't figure out how to create a reliable program. I have been using iMovie for several months now, updated to '11 in April, on OSX 10.6.8, and usually it works fine, but occasionally, out of the blue, all of the clips in my library will be greyed out. I cannot edit them in timeline unless I go to each clip individually and open up the separate editing window, I cannot drag and drop the clips to timeline, I have to manually copy and paste, and I cannot see any of the clips unless I roll over them with my mouse. My free trial of Final Cut Pro just expired and I have a couple of videos that are almost finished and this is extremely frustrating. I have seen others with similar experiences and I'm wondering if there is anything at all I can do about it. Thank you.
P.S. I did try restarting the program about 5 times and restarted my computer. Nothing gives.

Of course, I might have found a fix right after posting this. In case someone else comes along with the same issue...
I closed my MBP cover, and re-opened (this solved a menu bar issue I was also having). I re-opened iMovie, and deleted the project I had started that couldn't be continued. I started a new project, and things seemed to work just fine. So I'm not sure what it was that caused the problem, but so far it seems to be working now. Good luck!
