Adding markers in a score?

Is it possible to make my markers viewable in a score?
I've marked the verses, chorus and bridge (etc.) in a song and I'd like to see the beginnings of them in the score of an instrument. Is there a way to do that in Logic?
Thanks in advance.

This is something that Score Editor users have been longing for -= for ages. It would be great if you could put in a request to: http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html
for a facility which links Markers to Rehearsal Letters. This would enable one to navigate from Marker to Marker ( Rehearsal Letter to Rehearsal Letter) in the Score Editor or in the Arrange Window.
Such kind of Global Markings would mean if you put a Rehearsal Letter A with a nice box around it at say bar 8 - it would immediately be shown in all parts of the score at that bar.

Adding markers to RED footage in Prelude

Hey everyone, I was hoping to find a way to add markers to my RED footage without having to transcode it during ingestion. All my footage is kept on a separate drive from my computer. Two separate computers can pull from this drive so I'd love to avoid the transcode process to save me some time and allow me to edit everything RAW. Anyone have a work around to this process they know about?

Hi,
If you are using Prelude 2.1 or later it supports logging directly to RED media.
What version are you using and what does Prelude show you that is preventing you from adding markers?
Thanks,
Michael

Recording & Adding markers

I need to switch from Peak 4 to either Logic Pro or Express. The best feature on Peak is adding markers while I'm recording an audio book. The markers are embedded in the recording so when I edit and delete a section the markers move with the time so all my markers are still where they need to be... Does Logic Pro or Express offer adding markers while you record and embed them into the track?
Thanks for the help

Not that I know of.
Marker support in LE7 is pretty poor to be honest. When you've made them they can't really do a lot.

Adding Markers with the * key

Hello All,
In the past I was able to add a marker to a layer in real time with the * key on the numeric key pad. Today when I was trying to do it, everytime I hit the * key the composition stopped and no marker was added. Only when the comp was in stop mode would a marker add onto the layer.
What am I doing wrong.
The only thing that I know has changed is that I recently up graded my operating system to Mac OS 10.6.5
Thanks in Advance
I'm Using CS4

Hello again Dave, I can add markers to a layer when only the audio is playing (by pressing . on the key pad) and the play head is moving I could do this with the Open gL on or off). The markers show up after once it is stopped---- but I cannot add marker when the video is playing. I may have been confused to think that in the past I was adding markers while the video was playing.
In any event it would be nice to be able to add markers while the video is playing.
Can you add markers to the layer or the time ruler while the video is Playing?
Thank Again

Adding markers and color between the markers to a knob

Fairly new Labview user. I'm having trouble figuring out how to control via program the markers and colors on a knob. Basically, I need a zero marker, and green between two markers where range of motion is permitted and red outside these markers where range is not permitted. (This program is for a machine that measures a patient's wrist flextion). The positions of all markers (except the zero) needs to be programatically changeable for different patients, so I need to do it via property nodes. The Labview help and menu system isn't helping me much. Maybe you can. Thanks.

Adding markers for audio slideshow

Does anyone know if you can add audio markers in iMovie 09? I'm trying to create a photo slideshow and want to snap my photos to the beat of the tune but don't see any way to accomplish this.
Thanks

Yes. Use the [beat marker feature|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#markers]

Adding markers for tracks in a mix?

i've recorded a 65 min mix and i want to put markers on each song so it's not just one big long mix. i could only find info for putting markers on podcasts but i'm pretty sure that what i want to do is possible.
can anyone help me out?

If you export your mix as an AIFF, there's no way to set markers because AIFF doesn't support markers. But why not export it as a "podcast" - the result is an AAC file, and you can add markers.
AAC is pretty similar to MP3 in terms of compression rate and quality loss (set a high quality in GB's prefs). You might want to avoid turning the AAC file into an MP3, because combining two compression methods is never a good idea in terms of quality.

Adding markers and info while playing

I recall seeing a marketing bullet about how you could now add markers and info during playback on FCP6.
I can't figure out how this actually works, if it does.
Is there a way to drop a marker while playing back AND add info into the dialog box that normally pops up if you hit the tilda twice?
Can't find ANY info about this.

That is a feature of FCP 7...not 6.

Automatically adding markers in AE?

Can I add markers automatically everytime the source of a text changes, or everytime the value of SliderControl changes? If so, how do I do that?
Thank you!
Alex

Keyframes would work fine too. I thought of markers because I'd like to add a sound each time the text changes and already have a workaround for that. The text is just a counter controlled by a SliderControl effect. I do not have a keyframe for each change in numbers. And since the speed of the changing numbers varies a lot I don't like to go through that frame by frame to set a keyframe everytime the number changes. That's why I am looking for a automated way that gives me markers OR keyframes everytime the text or SliderControl value changes.

Adding markers

I am trying to add compression markers in the Preview window to attempt to alleviate problems with artifacts and blocky dissolves. When I attempt to navigate frame by frame through the footage it jumps in several second increments. If I use the arrow keys on the keyboard it jumps forward or back in 3 second increments (even though the manual says it should move 1 frame at a time). This makes it rather frustrating to say the least. Any ideas?

Can you speak on the details of the file you're trying to encode - Codec, frame rate, Compressor settings - as well the version of Compressor you're using.
I'm unable to reproduce this on my system using Compressor 2.
As an immediate workaround, are you able to add the necessary markers in your editing program? (Final Cut Pro? Final Cut Express?)

Loop conversion automatically and timeline markers

in my old version of soundtrack, when i set the BPM for a project, whenever i listened to any of my loops/wavs in the browser they automatically pitch shifted and tempo shifted to play along with the project so i could hear how they fitted. when dragged into the timeline they automatically converted to loops; but it was possible to undo that if needed.
in the current STPro the exact same files don't play as loops, and play at native pitch and tempo. i have to drag into the timeline and convert to loop to hear if it fits the project. this makes auditioning suitable clips almost impossible.
is there a way of making the default setting the same as the previous soundtrack?

Mmm . . .
Well, adding markers in the Compressor preview window seems a no-no!
First it doesn't show markers at the beginning of a new clip. If you click the arrow to move to the next marker it goes to the next VISIBLE marker on the timeline. But if you then arrow the playhead back to where you know a new clip begins and then use the drop-down at the bottom of the window, it will give you the option to REMOVE the marker - even though there's no marker visible and the playhead missed it when you clicked the "next clip" arrow.
OK - I accept the case for mandatory markers at the beginning of each clip - but why aren't they visible - and why the option to remove them?
If they're removable, and the timeline is so cramped you can't SEE them, then you can easily remove one inadvertently - and we don't want to do that, do we?

My troubles with Markers in Premiere

I’m editing a feature documentary in Adobe Premiere CC (latest update) on my MacBook Pro 2014 w/ Mavericks.
I have about 100 hours of source footage that I’m logging using Comment Markers in Premiere.
The problem I’m facing in this workflow is dealing with multichannel audio files. Our sound engineer recorded sound using a Sound Devices 644 6-channel mixer/recorder that saves to 24-bit multichannel .WAV-files. I sometimes have 5 mono tracks with wireless microphones and a boom. I need to sync these audio files to the footage first, before I’m able to properly spot and log what I have. The camera scratch track is insufficient to do this properly, since it sometimes only contains camera-audio, or a mix of different channels, with people being in different locations at the same time. So, I need to be able to mute channels to reveal the content of each audio track separately.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to use Prelude for the logging process, since that program does not give me the option to synchronize my external audio with the footage first, using the embedded timecode in both video and audio files. I also don’t want to transcode, re-wrap or combine audio and video
originals into new (intermediate) files.
So, my conclusion is that I have to use Premiere Pro’s Marker functionality. First, I made sequences for each day we recorded footage. On those sequences, I synced the footage with the corresponding multichannel audio tracks. Then, I decided to make markers in the source clips of either the video (description of what we see, like insert shot, or listening shot, or an event) or the audio (description of what we hear / what people say).
Having worked this way for a couple of weeks, the following bugs / annoyances pop-up:
1 – If I add a comment marker to track 3 (out of 4) of a multichannel audiofile, that comment is also visible in tracks 1, 2 and 4. It doesn’t matter if I unlink the audiotracks first. The comment will stay visible in all tracks. This is not useful, since sometimes, different things are said in different audiotracks of the same file. I suppose this has something to do with the way Premiere handles multichannel audio-files and the fact that they are saved in one file. I guess the workaround has to be the hassle of splitting all audio into separate files, without losing the original timecode, but tt would be much better if Premiere just gave me the option to create separate markers for each individual audio track of a multichannel file.
2 – It’s hard to create overlapping comment markers. Sometimes a part of a clip needs to be logged/commented in two different categories and then it would be nice to have overlapping markers in the same clip. I believe this is possible in Prelude and transports well to Premiere, but Premiere does not really give a good way to do it itself.
3 – When I create a marker (M), I have to alt-click on it in the Source-window to be able to expand the range of that marker. I can then add comment text in either the Markers Panel, or in the pop-up window when I double-click the marker. This works well with shorter clips, but the problem starts with longer clips, like a 30-minute interview. At some point, when I alt-click and then drag the handle to expand the marker, the playhead of the Source timeline jumps back to a position somewhere in the middle of the clip. It does not stay with the marker I just created/expanded. This is a really big annoyance, because then I have to scroll back to that part I was working on. Is there some way or setting to stick to the place in the source clip I’m working on?
4 – Eventually, the Markers in my clip (either in the video or audio clips) show up in the Markers Panel. I now have a scrollable overview that can also be searched. But now the following problem arises: If I search for a specific marker and want to jump to that marker in the content, I click on the marker in the list. It will now nicely go to that place in the Source window of the corresponding audio clip. But how can I reveal exactly that position in the corresponding clip in my sequence? Because only there, it is synced with my video… Of course, I can visually see the markers and the beginning of their text content in my sequence too, but it would be really nice to have a „reveal in sequence” button somewhere. Working with Sequence Markers as an alternative would look problematic to me. I want to be able to pancake sequences and copy clips from a sequence of selects to my main edit, with all comment markers transporting nicely. Furthermore, I like the idea of comment markers being saved in the XMP of the source clip. I have selected this option in the Preferences.
5 – For some strange reason, sometimes comment markers are not saved in the audio file. I have a multichannel .WAV file, which contains 4 mono channels of audio. I added markers to this clip, closed my sequence, opened it again and the markers were still there. But when I saved my project, closed Premiere and re-opened it again, the markers were gone. This happens not with all multichannel .WAV-files, but it happens sometimes and I haven’t discovered the reason yet. On this specific example (T22.wav) I can recreate the error. I checked the file and it’s not read-only or something. So, it just feels like a total random thing and not a very reliable function of Adobe Premiere.
6 – This brings me to other usability issues regarding Markers in Premiere. As I have understood, there is no proper option to globally search for (comment) markers in the entire project. To me, in 2015, this appears very silly and I’m sure Adobe is working on a solution. My workaround now is to export the markers in each clip to a .CSV-file and combine those in Excel. Then, I have a complete overview of all markers in my project. What I feel lacks is that the .CSV-file does not export the Marker color. I use the colors to make visual indicators of categories. For example: a red markers means: important! An orange marker is a question etc. It would be really nice to have an additional column in the CSV indicating just the name of the color. I would be better of course, if Adobe seriously fixes the global search thing.
To conclude, many of the problems I’m facing originate from the fact that I work with double system audio, where the audio is saved in multichannel audio-files, that need to be synced using timecode. Although this is a pretty standard procedure, it feels like Adobe Premiere Pro CC has some issues that I would like to see resolved in future upgrades. I hope my post could benefit to this.
Furthermore, If anyone feels that I’m using completely the wrong workflow and has useful suggestions, I’m all ears! I’m still in the beginning phase of the edit. It took me a while to ingest all files, create the file structure and sequences and properly sync all the audio, but if I’m doing something wrong, I rather hear it now than at the end.
Thanks and my apologies for this exhaustive post.

Meanwhile, I have found a workaround for this problem:
9. – When I have finished adding Comment Markers to a file, I export it's audio to a WAV from Prelude. This WAV-file will also contain the newly created markers. Then I send the WAV to my co-editor and he places the WAV under the original audio in his timeline. Now the extra .WAV-file will function as a 'guide track' which shows the markers. The audio channel can be muted.
It would make much more sense if Premiere always checks if a .XMP on the disk has been updated or added, when it is mounting the media upon opening the project file. Or even better: Premiere should update the Markers in the timeline in realtime, when the .XMP has changed.
Having said this, we found the following behavior of Premiere, when media and .XMP's on the disk are replaced:
– Sony F5 / Sony PMW-100 / Canon XF200 .MXF + .XMP, only .XMP with new metadata is replaced on co-editor disk: Comment markers are MIXED with markers that were already present in the clip. Some markers get lost, because of conflicting timecodes?
– Canon C300 .MXF + .XMP, only .XMP with new metadata is replaced on co-editor disk; Comment markers DO NOT show up in timeline. Re-import and re-placement of file in timeline is necessary (including syncing with external audio)
– .MOV Quicktime container (entire .MOV has to be replaced on co-editor disk, since metadata is saved in Quicktime container): Comment markers are MIXED with markers that were already present in the clip. Some markers get lost, because of conflicting timecodes?
– .WAV-files: Comment markers properly update on timeline.
I'm curious to see if the upcoming 2015 update contains improved functionality and bugfixes regarding .XMP metadata (e.g. Comment Markers) and sharing media. I'm especially curious about the new Adobe Anywhere functionality for small teams.

How can you get back a lost high score after a partial sync?

I was playing a Temple Run game, which I was currently getting a high score on, when I plugged it into my computer to charge. Since it was the first time I had plugged it in, the Mac asked me to do some stuff. After my iPod started to sync, everything was fine. I then had to leave, so I ejected it and left. It kept syncing until I was out of the wi-fi range and down the road. I go into Temple Run, and find my game I was playing gone. The coins weren't added, and the high score wasn't even updated. When I came home, I tried syncing it again, and the info still didn't come back. Is is possible to regain the data back? I just really want the 7 million high score back...

Try restoring from backup. If yu did not backup since you messed up, restoring from backup should get you back to when the backup was made. Got to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPod...syncing" otherwise when you connect, a backup will be made that does not contain the info you want.

Final Cut Pro X. Delete automatic markers/keep manual markers.

Final Cut Pro X. I added markers to my project. I created a DVD by clicking...
Share-DVD-Burn.
When I play the DVD & use my remote to skip, I expected to skip to each spot that I had marked.
However, when I skip using my remote, it skips every 30 seconds.
I read someplace that Final Cut Pro X enters automatic markers every 30 seconds, but I can't find how to prevent this.
How do I prevent or delete the automatic markers and keep the markers I want to have in my project.
Please make you answer very SIMPLE. I'm not really a computer person. I used to use Pennacle Studio 11 and wish I had not switched but it's too late. I have way too much money tied up in this now. HELP!!!

So after many nights of rendering and trying different codecs here's what I've discovered:
Essentially, it's a timecode issue. FCPX is not playing nice with the timecode on the original DV footage.
How did I come to this conclusion?
I took a folder full of clips that were crashing FCPX. These are standard definition DV-NTSC clips in .mov containers.
I took this folder and transcoded to DV again and also converted to ProRes LT using both MPEG Stremclip as well as Compressor. All the footage from MPEG Streamclip worked fine in FCPX but the clips from Compressor kept causing the crashing issue. The difference between the two program is that Compressor retains the timecode of the original footage but MPEG Streamclip throws it away.
I was really hoping to retain the timecode since I have the original FCP7 project that I could reference to easily re-cut everything together. Looks like it's going to take a little more legwork if I want to start editing now. Not sure if this is something that FCPX will fix.
