Adjusting a Marker’s Duration
By default, Time markers and Beat markers have a duration of zero, but you can create
Time or Beat region markers by changing the duration of any marker. You adjust a
marker’s duration either by entering a new duration for the marker in the Details tab,
or, if it is already a region marker, by dragging the ends of a marker handle.
To adjust a marker’s duration, do one of the following:
m Show the Details tab, click the marker you want to adjust, then enter a new duration in
the Duration field.
m Adjust a region marker by dragging the end of its handle.
Deleting Markers
If you decide you don’t want a time or beat marker that you’ve added, you can delete it
at any time.
To delete a marker:
m Click the marker handle to select the marker, then choose Edit > Delete (or press Delete).
Note: You cannot delete Final Cut Pro scoring markers in Soundtrack Pro.
Using Markers with Video
Soundtrack Pro displays Final Cut Pro scoring markers included in a video file imported
from Final Cut Pro. You can add time markers at points in time corresponding to
specific timecode positions in the video clip, and align audio clips with markers using
the snapping feature. When you add a marker to a project containing a video, the
video clip displays the frame of the video that occurs at the marker’s position in time.
For more information about adding and moving markers, see “ Working with Markers ”
on page 183.
You can score both Final Cut Pro scoring markers and time markers to the playhead,
letting you synchronize the audio with specific points in the video.
Using Final Cut Pro Scoring Markers
When you import a video file from Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express HD,
Soundtrack Pro displays any Final Cut Pro scoring markers included in the video file in
the Timeline. Scoring markers have an orange handle in the area above the Time ruler.
You cannot move or edit Final Cut Pro scoring markers in Soundtrack Pro.
