Add comments, chapters, and links to sequence markers

You use the Marker dialog box to navigate through sequence markers, and to read or add data to them. Reviewing marker data with the Marker dialog box is a convenient way to review Clip Notes comments, among other things.

  1. In the Timeline panel, double‑click a sequence marker to open the Marker dialog box.
    You can open the Marker dialog box when you set the marker by double‑clicking the Set Unnumbered Marker button  in the Timeline panel.
  2. Set any of the following options:
    Comments
    Type a comment you want associated with the marker.

    Duration
    Drag the duration value or click the value to highlight it, type a new value, and press Enter/Return.

    Chapter
    Enter the chapter name and number.

    URL
    Enter the address of the web page you want to open.

    A sequence marker can also contain a web address (URL). When the movie is included in a web page and the marker is reached in the movie, the web page automatically opens. Web links work only with supported formats such as QuickTime.

    When using markers for URL links and chapter markers, you can set sequence markers to be longer than one frame in duration. In the Timeline panel, the right side of a sequence marker’s icon extends to indicate its duration.

    Frame Target
    Enter the target frame for a web page if using an HTML frameset.

  3. To enter comments or specify options for other sequence markers, click Prev or Next.
    Note: DVD authoring programs such as Encore adhere to DVD guidelines that restrict the proximity of chapter links. When setting markers for use as chapter links, make sure to space them at least 15 frames apart, or by the amount required by your authoring software. Otherwise, your authoring program may move the chapter links automatically.
