Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 273)

Note: If the Prompt checkbox is unselected, Final Cut Pro logs the clip without asking
you to confirm, when you click the Log Clip button. For more information, see
“Logging
a Clip.”
Adding Markers to Clips While Logging
As you log, you can set markers within clips to note significant parts for future reference.
Markers can be used for several purposes.
• Reference: Each marker can contain a name and associated note to help you identify
the content or other noteworthy information.
• Navigation: You can move the playhead from marker to marker in the Viewer and the
Timeline to quickly go to specific parts of a clip.
• Creation of subclips: You can also use markers to automatically create subclips, or parts
of a larger clip, in the Browser. For example, when you log a lengthy clip for capture,
you can arrange the markers to break the clip into smaller subclips for use while you
edit. For more information on creating subclips, see
“Creating Subclips.”
You can set as many markers as you like. Markers appear in a list and can be edited and
deleted. Markers you set for clips during the logging process also appear in the Browser,
the Viewer, and the Timeline.
