Using Markers with Video
Soundtrack displays Final Cut Express scoring markers included in a video file imported
from Final Cut Express. 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 snap 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 111.
You can score both Final Cut Express scoring markers and time markers to the
playhead, letting you synchronize the audio with specific points in the video.
Using Final Cut Express Scoring Markers
When you import a video file from Final Cut Express or Final Cut Express HD,
Soundtrack displays any Final Cut Express 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 Express scoring markers in Soundtrack.
