Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Working with markers

Question

Answer 1

The instructions on this page are mostly correct but partially misleading. They say:
===========
To add a marker to a clip in the Timeline, do the following:
    Set up a keyboard shortcut for "Add Clip Marker" in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts (Windows), or Premiere Pro > Keyboard Shortcuts (Mac OS).
    Select the clip.
    Place the Plahead where you want to place the marker.
    Choose Marker > Add Marker, or press M.
============
That final line is incorrect. It will add a Timeline Marker not a Clip Marker. You need to use the keyboard shortcut you made in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box. The menu command -- Add Clip Marker -- is not in any menu. To find it in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, search for "Add Clip Marker." It is in the Panels > Timeline Panel section. Give it a shortcut and use that shortcut when you want to add a marker to a clip in the Timeline.
NOTE: Another, and perhaps easier, way to do this is to add the marker to a clip open in the Source Monitor. If you have a clip in a sequence in the Timeline, double-click it to open it in the in the Source Monitor and add the marker there (press the M key).
