Work with layer-time markers

Layer-time markers are retained when you render to AVI or QuickTime format.

Layer-time markers appear as small triangles on a layer-duration bar. You can have any number of layer-time markers in a layer. You can also drag existing markers to new time locations or remove them, as needed. You can double-click the layer-time marker at any time to view or modify its attributes.

  • To add a layer-time marker to selected layers at the current time, choose Layer > Add Marker or press * (multiply) on the numeric keypad.
  • To move a layer-time marker, drag it to a different time or double-click it and enter a time in the dialog box.
  • To edit a marker’s data, double-click the marker.
  • To remove a layer-time marker, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the marker.
  • To remove all layer-time markers from selected layers, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a marker, and choose Delete All Markers.
  • To lock layer-time markers, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a marker, and choose Lock Markers.
