Adding Markers to Clips in the Capture Window

While you enter information about a clip in the Capture window, you can set markers
on frames (or regions of frames) that you think are significant enough to remember
later. 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 set markers to automatically create subclips later in

the Browser. For more information see Chapter 20, “

Creating Subclips
