Adding Markers to a Podcast
Markers can provide visual interest and navigational convenience for your podcast
audience. Podcast markers are frames in a podcast that can display an image or a web
link synchronized to the audio in the podcast. Chapter markers are podcast markers that
provide enhanced navigation. Chapter markers make it easy for listeners and viewers to
skip ahead to the section they want. Chapter markers appear in the chapter list in both
iTunes and QuickTime Player. To adjust markers, including their respective web links and
images, see
Podcast Marker Information in the Details Tab .
Using Podcast and Chapter Markers
Using the podcast track, you can add as many markers as you like. By default, the podcast
track makes the first frame of the project a chapter marker.
To add a marker

in the upper-right corner of the Timeline.
2 Click the Blade tool at the top of the Timeline (or press B).
The pointer changes to the Blade tool.
3 Using the Blade tool, click anywhere in the podcast track.
The podcast track is split, creating a new chapter marker at the point you clicked.
Deleting Podcast and Chapter Markers
Deleting markers is as easy as adding them.
To delete a podcast marker or a chapter marker
1 In the Podcast track, click any marker region.
2 Press Delete.
The marker is removed from the podcast track.
