Markers in CC

Lots of nice features in CC.
The new M+M feature works fine to open the marker comments in the timeline but it doesn't work in the source panel. You get double markers. Am I missing something. Setting?

No, sadly that's how it is. You're not missing anything, except for filling in one of these feature request forms:

Is there a way to make the Markers panel work better with the Source panel?

My workflow is to first cut a multi-cam project (but it could be any long clip), then watch it all over again to make notes about what to keep and what to kick. So after I'm done cutting the initial rough cut of the entire hour or two of footage, I'll set focus to the Markers panel and begin watching the entire clip from the beginning to make notes as markers within the clip.
I'll play the clip back in the Source monitor and when something interesting happens, I'll type "M" on the keyboard. This places a marker in the clip (or multi-cam clip in my case). Without stopping the clip, I'll pick up my mouse and tap the Markers tab in the notes section for the last marker laid down. I'll type a note (something like "S" for interesting "Shot" or "HUGS" or "DANCING" to indicate the main action occuring at this point in the clip, or "Mike: Are we there, yet?" for a key dialog point). Next, I'll move my mouse back to the Source panel (the video has not stopped this entire time) and give any gray area of the Source panel a tap just to activate it. I'll watch for the next point of interest and repeat the process. M to mark. Move to the Markers panel. Tap the last marker. Type some notes. Move back to the Source panel and tap to give the panel focus. This works fairly well, but could be tuned, with just a few options, to make it more streamlined for this type of use.
What I'd like to be able to do is never leave the keyboard AND use minimal keyboard shortcuts. A perfect workflow might be:
1. Start playing the clip in the Source panel.
2. Type "M" to drop a marker. Focus would AUTOMATICALLY move to the notes section of that marker within the Markers panel, while the video continues to play on in the Source panel.
3. I type my notes into the Markers panel and hit Enter, or CTRL+Enter, which returns focus to the Source panel.
This would allow me to quickly build a list of markers and notes about a clip or sequence without ever stopping and without once touching my mouse (unless I get behind and need to backup). Currently, the only time I really get behind is when clicking on a window and not realizing that focus was not given to that window, so that when I hit "M" again, for example, I don't actually create a new marker, but rather add the letter "M" to my most recent Marker note.
All of this seems a very common task for anyone who works in reality TV, or even event videography. Who's with me? Can this be done already? If not, I'll submit a feature request. How would you make this feature better?

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

Can't view markers in LiveType

I can't view markers in Livetype (Using LiveType 2.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1).
In order to synch a LiveType to audio... I've set up the audio in Final Cut Express, and marked the audio at my placement points...
In Final Cut Express, I select File-Export-For Livetype
And select All-Markers
Save it to my desktop
Open it in LiveType (Place background movie)
The background movie is there, but there are no markers.
Any thoughts? This is driving me nuts. I've tried exporting as a self-contained movie and not as a self-contained movie, as audio only, or as audio and video.
Many thanks,
Brett

Never used FCE so I assume your workflow is accurate or you've checked it carefully against the manual. Are you attaching markers to the audio clip, the video clip or to the sequence?
In FCP, one can place markers on audio clips separately from video clips. LT has no audio support so that would make it impossible to see audio markers.
I've never used markers to sync in LT, it's a silly way to work. I create all of my LT effects as individual items, designing them with sufficient handles to allow for fades or moves, and composite in FCP. Trying to do more than one thing at a time in LT is uncomfortable.

The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
Thanks,

"Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
• Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
• Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."
From the Final Cut Pro User Manual.

XML tag markers moved: Find and Replace causing problem in xml elements

Hi All,
I am doing find and replace using GREP. While using the expression like $1, $2 (Found Items) in the change to field it changes the placement of tag marker. If the found item is a part of two of more xml elements, I am getting a serious problem while replacing it. (ie. The xml tag markers are moved.)
See the screen shot below, then you may get better idea. And help me to overcome this issue.
This is just an example to show you what i'm trying to say, there are so many cases like this.
Original text/ Before doing find replace
After replacing
Green4ever

Hi Peter and John,
but it seems to me that the example is looking for any space that
follows a semi-colon and has two word characters following it, and
repalce that with an em space. I think you could do the same using look
behind and look ahead and not need to replace the found text.
Yes you are right about the look behind and look ahead. I'd like to show some more examples to show what the actual problem is,
Original/Before Replacing,
(Consider there is another case here, instead of em-space some times normal word space will also be there)
Using the Grep:
Find What---------> ^(\d+\.(?:\d+)?)~m
Change To------------->$1\t
After Replace:
Did I make any sense? Eventhough this will not make any changes in the layout, my requirement is to insert the tab out-side the tag marker not indise.

Cross reference markers are deleted for content in text insets

Cross reference markers are deleted for content text insets. I currently have a chapter that is built from several Import by Reference files. I added an introductory paragraph with cross reference links to heading 2 titles in these text insets. Everything works and saves normally, although the cross reference markers disappear from the chapter when files are checked out a few days later. An extra Heading 2 is also added to the end of the document.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a chapter composed of several text insets.
2. Create a list of cross references to headings in these text insets at the beginning of the chapter.
3. Check in/check out the files from a source control product.
What went wrong?:
The cross reference markers are gone, resulting in broken cross references. An empty Heading 2 is also added to the end of the document following the final text inset
What should have happened?:
The markers should remain and the heading 2 tag should not be applied to the document.
Product version:
Product: FrameMaker
Version: 7.2
Platform information:Windows XP
Hardware: Dell Latitude D620
OS Version: Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
RAM: 1GB

Thanks for the information, Van. We did try several techniques including adding the insertion point immediately after the text inset before the normal paragraph tag, but none seemed to consistently work. I will investigate this scenario futher, though, in light of your comments.
We have managed to determine a workaround for this issue by avoiding a string of text insets. For some reason, using multiple text insets without separating them with normal text causes most of the problems after we add the files to our source control system. The situaton is not ideal, but it does work for the time being anyway.

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?

Generate TOC with Section Markers?

It's been a while since I've had to setup and create a TOC for a single file long document, but I'm pretty sure that I've created TOCs this way in the past. So, why won't the text in Section Markers show up in the TOC? Is it even possible to generate a TOC that has Section Marker text?
I'm using InDesign CS5 in Windows. I've got a single file document that I'm trying to generate a TOC for. I've designed a 16 page handbook in one inDesign file which includes a Cover page, TOC page, and seven "chapters".
I created separate sections for each "chapter" and used Section Markers at the top of the Master page for the chapter names. This is something I've done in the past for single file long documents with multiple chapters.
I've set the first page of each "chapter" as a new Section on the Pages panel. In the Numbering and Section Options for each page, I've checked Start Section, Automatic Page Numbering, Page Numbering Style: 1,2,3,4... and in Section Marker: I've put the "chapter" name in the text box.
I set up Paragraph and and Character Styles and used them throughout my document. When I set up the TOC I set up everything correctly, including my Section Marker style for the chapter names and a heading style that I used for all the sub headings in my file.
When I insert the TOC, the sub headings with their page numbers generate but the chapter headings which are Section Markers do not generate. Am I missing something or is it even possible to include the text for Section Markers in a TOC? I'm sure that it's worked in the past. Can anyone offer a solution for this?
thanks,
Kat

awesome! ...worked like a charm. I knew I was forgetting something.

How do I set up a track with lots of markers? Stories? End jumps?

Hello,
sorry if the topic is a bit vague, I'll try to explain as good as I can. And I've just had a cup of tea, so let's go.....
I'm working on a project in FCP. On my timeline, there are about 20 clips, with 2 seconds of black cut in between.
What I want to do in DVDSP is have a menu and several submenues. No problem here.
On the main menue, there is a play-all button, and that should start the track as a whole, and play from the very first to the very last clip, including the 2 second black bits, obviously.
The submenues have buttons that target the individual clips on the tracks. I want the clips to play, and then jump back to the submenue that button is on.
How do I go about it?
I add chapter markers to the clips, right? And I can link the buttons on the submenues to those chapter markers. But how would I make the whole track play, i.e. how would I integrate the play-all button?
Or would it be better to turn those clips into stories (haven't done that before, is it difficult?), and then the play-all button could target the track?
I hope I've been clear, please let me know if I wasn't. Any advice or help is greeeeeaaaaatly appreciated. Did I mention the deadline? No? Oh well.....
Thanks a lot in advance,
Colin

The are a few othe things also to look at. Easy to do stories
http://www.dvdstepbystep.com/stories.php
Put them all on one track, set chapter markers for each one.
So lets say three clips
Play All would target story that has 1,2,3 markers
To select play range between 1 and 2, make a story with just Chapter 1

Using the mapViewer for multiple markers

Hello, I am using a visual jsf project and the mapViewer in NetBeans.What I want to do is add multiple markers on the map, but I am new to this so I wanted to know if someone knows how to do this.Is there a good tutorial for more complex use of the mapViewer?I have looked in google but all there is about mapViewer is the tutorial from the NetBeans page which is very simple.Any help would be appreciated thank you!

Hi SqlCraze,
I also design the report using Report Designer. So you can directly do the same steps as I post.
In the fourth step that "Insert the corresponding fields to the second table" means directly insert State, ACount, BCount and Description fields. Please note that the list control is used to split one table into several tables based on the
Description group: one table only displays the values when Description=Category1, one table only displays the values when Description=Category2, another table only displays the values when Description=Category3. We needn't add filters in the table, just add
the list.
For more information about the list control in Reporting Services, please refer to the following blog:

Replacing marker text for sevral markers in one shot.

I can't change marker text (such as an index entry) by using the Find/Change dialog box. If FrameMaker finds the marker text I specify, and if I type different text in the Change text box and click Change, FrameMaker replaces the marker--not the marker text--with the text in the Change text box.
To change marker text, i use the Special > Marker command
I have loads of marker spread over several documents. It is not practical to change each and every marker text manually.
Basically i have marker with marker text in the format "gotolink xyz.pdf:abc". I would like to replace the marker text to "gotolink xyz.fm:abc".
The marker text varies for different markers but the bottom line is replacing pdf to fm.
Please help me as early as possible.
Regards,
Damodar

Damodar, The fastest way would be to do the search & replace in the MIF files using a text editor (such as UltraEdit or TextPad) or a regular expression tool such as grep or Funduc's Search&Replace. You would look for the statement: <MText `gotolink xyz.pdf:abc'> and replace appropriately. To batch convert all of the files in a book to MIF, you could use the trial version of mif2go available from Omni Systems at http://www.omsys.com

How do I export from Compressor 4 to iDVD with chapter markers?

I get that Final Cut Pro X does not create chapter markers.
I send it to Compressor 4 to do this.
Ok, so far, so good.
How do I export this so that I can then author the DVD to include a menu page, etc?
Do I do this in iDVD? If so, what format, as I see that iDVD does not import MPEG-2.

Don't use the DVD preset in Compressor. Use an MPEG4 format or maybe even AppleTV preset.
This Apple Support Article might help a little.

How do you add a new scene to beginning without disturbing movie with music and beat markers?

How do you add a new portion to the beginning of your project without disturbing the rest of the project that already has perfectly place clips attached to beat markers with the music ?
I forgot to add a tittle intro before the music starts with the attached pictures. When I try to add the whole project goes out of sync.
I want to just add an intro without disturbing the entire project.
Thanks

Well, if you re-attach your background music under the first clip, the starting point will be at the start of that clip so I think it will still be in sync. If not it's simply a matter of nudging the music track a bit along the timeline. Comparing the audio waveforms of the two tracks should help with this. When its right you can delete the track in the background music position. Now you can add what you like before the first clip without affecting sync.

Is there a way of printing or copy and pasting to a word doc markers

I have a long interview which I have created over 50 markers for various points in the audio. I want to put these into a word doc with timings for easier logging.
Any ideas?

I'm afraid not - development stopped on it about 10 years ago. All you need to do though is copy the wav file, complete with cue list, and find a pc to open it on. Then you can export the cue list as a text file that you should be able to save and open up on a mac, almost certainly. And since there are at least ten times as many PCs as there are Macs, I wouldn't have thought that it would be too difficult to find one...

In FX 8 (WinXP and Linux) I'm not able to change a route of the Google Maps routeplanner via drag&drop, the markers of start and destination don't appear and therefore cannot be moved, either.

Usually (IE, Firefox 7 and below) if you go along the blue line of a route planned by Google Maps, a small circle appears which can be dragged and dropped to other roads so that the routeplanner changes the route. This is impossible with Fx 8, the circle doesn't appear and when trying to drag&drop I only move the map. The same applies to the markers which mark the start and destination of the route, they are not visible and cannot be moved. Disabling Adblock and Firegestures didn't solve the problem.
When the page is loading for a moment you can see the symbol for an image which is not yet loaded both where the markers should be and if you go along the line with the mouse. As soon as the page is completely loaded you don't see this anymore.

There is opened a bug in Bugzilla:
