Note: You can also select and drag multiple markers. When you move a marker by
dragging, the marker’s position snaps to the nearest Snap To position if snap is turned
on. For information on setting the Snap To value, see
Creating Fades and Crossfades in
the Timeline .
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:
µ
Show the Details tab, click the marker you want to adjust, then enter a new duration in
the Duration field.
µ
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
µ
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 .
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.
