About clip and timeline markers
You can place markers to indicate important points in a clip or movie. Markers can help you position, arrange, and synchronize clips. They even let
you add comments to the Expert view timeline.
A movie or a clip can contain up to 100 numbered markers (labeled from 0 to 99). Moreover, it can have unlimited unnumbered markers. You can
also add menu markers for use in creating a disc menu in Adobe Premiere Elements.
Working with clip and timeline markers is much like working with In and Out points. However, In and Out points set the actual start and end points
of a clip. Markers are only for reference and do not affect clips in the finished movie.
Markers in the Expert view timeline
A. Timeline Marker B. Menu marker C. Markers menu D. Beat marker
note: The Detect Beats button creates markers at the major beats in your soundtrack so that you can synchronize clips to beats.
Markers you add to a clip placed in a movie appear only in that instance of the clip. Markers you add to a source clip appear in each instance of
the clip that you subsequently add to the movie. Adding markers to a source clip doesn’t affect instances of the clip already in a movie.
When you select a clip in the Project Assets panel, the Monitor panel displays only the clip markers within the clip.
When you select a clip in the Expert view timeline, it displays only timeline markers. Clip markers appear as icons within the clip in the Expert view
timeline. However, timeline markers appear in the time ruler.

Add clip and timeline markers
You can add markers to a clip in the Project Assets panel, to an instance of a clip in the Expert view timeline, or to the time ruler. Markers are of
two types: clip markers and timeline markers.
In general, you add clip markers to signify important points within an individual clip (for example, to identify a particular action or sound). You add
timeline markers to the time ruler to mark scenes, title locations, or other significant points within the movie. Timeline markers can include
comments and URLs to link web pages.
You can number markers or use unnumbered markers. Use numbered markers if you plan to use many markers. You can quickly jump, say, from
marker number 5 to marker number 40 if the markers are numbered. If they are unnumbered, you can only jump between adjacent markers.
If you want to use markers to log comments, numbering them makes them easy to reference. For example, you can log comments, such as
