Markers panel (CS6)
Use the Marker panel (Window > Markers) to see all the markers in an open clip or sequence. Details associated with clips such as color-coded
tags, In points, Out points, and comments are displayed. Clicking a clip thumbnail in the Markers panel moves the playhead to the location of the
corresponding marker.
Click a marker in the Markers panel, and then the playhead moves to that position of marker in the Timeline.
A marker on a clip or in a sequence shows the In and Out points in the Marker panel. You can scrub the In or Out point to turn the marker from a
single frame in time to one covering a range of time.

Add markers in the Timeline (CS6)
You can add markers on the Source monitor, Program monitor, or on the Timeline. Markers added to Program monitor are reflected in the
Timeline. Similarly, markers added to the Timeline are reflected on the Program Monitor.
In Premiere Pro CS6, multiple markers can be added, allowing a user to add multiple notes and comment on clips on the same location in the
Timeline.
1. Move the playhead to the point where you want to add a marker.
2. Select Marker > Add Marker, or press the M key.
You can set specialty markers, as well.
To set an Encore Chapter Marker, choose Marker > Set Encore Chapter Marker.
To set a Flash Cue Marker, choose Marker > Set Flash Cue Marker.
3. Double-click the marker icon to open the Marker dialog box.
In Premiere Pro CS6, you can create a keyboard shortcut to open the Marker dialog box.
4. Set any of the following options:
Type a name for the marker.
Drag the duration value or click the value to highlight it, type a new value, and press Enter/Return. When using markers for URL
links and chapter markers, you can set sequence markers to be longer than one frame in duration. You might do this, for example, when
setting markers in Premiere Pro that you will convert to cue points in FLV files.
