You can add two types of markers: project markers and object markers. Project markers
are fixed to a specific timecode value in the ruler. Object markers are attached to an object
and move around as you move the object. Object markers appear only in the Timeline.
Project markers appear in the Timeline, Keyframe Editor, and Audio Editor.
