Markers
You can bookmark up to 1,000 locations in a project using markers. Markers are a great
way to keep track of key moments in a project. You can use them to tag edit points
you’ve located using the Preview (Page 183) or Scrub (Page 184) features. You can also
use them to re-order the sections of a project using the Region Arrange feature.
Markers can be named and manually edited.
You can see the last marker the timeline passed in the current time location display. If
there are no markers in the project, the marker area of the display (Page 126) shows
“—.” If the timeline hasn’t yet reached the first of the project’s makers, you see “***.”
We recommend using markers to tag the locations of individual project events, and
using locators (Page 185) to memorize where your project’s sections are since you can
recall locators more quickly than markers. And with 1,000 markers, you won’t use them
all up as quickly as the 100 locators in a project.
When you create an audio CD on the VS-2480 (Chapter 27), you’ll place special CD
track markers to identify the selections on the CD.
