Extending a Marker’s Duration
When you create a marker in Final Cut Pro, it is only associated with a particular frame; it
doesn’t have a duration. If you wish, you can extend the duration of a marker so that it
spans multiple frames. Markers with duration can be used to precisely define subclips in
a clip. You can also use them to mark an entire area of a clip or sequence with notes, such
as for color correction or audio mixing.
To extend a marker’s duration to the playhead’s location
1 Position the playhead ahead (to the right) of the marker.
2 Choose Mark > Markers > Extend, or press Option–Grave Accent (`).
An extended duration marker appears in the scrubber bar; it looks like a marker icon with
a bar that extends along the scrubber bar.
