More than one type of marker is available, and like clips, each marker has a color. You can
change a marker type by double-clicking it.
Comment Marker: This is a general marker you can assign a name, duration, and
comments.
Chapter Marker: This is a marker that DVD and Blu-ray Disc design applications can
convert into a regular chapter marker.
Segmentation Marker: This marker makes it possible for certain video servers to divide
content into parts.
Web Link: Certain video formats can use this marker to automatically open a web page
while the video plays. When you export your sequence to create a supported format, web
link markers are included in the file.
Flash Cue Point: This is a marker used by Adobe Animate CC. By adding these cue points
to the Timeline in Premiere Pro, you can begin to prepare your Animate project while still
editing your sequence.
Note
If a single clip is selected in a sequence on the timeline when you add a marker, the
marker will be added to the selected clip rather than the sequence. See “Selecting clips”
later in this lesson for more information about selecting clips in sequences.
Sequence markers
Let’s add some markers to a sequence.
1. Open the City Views sequence from the Sequences bin.
This is a simple assembly with a few shots from a travelogue program.
2. Set the Timeline playhead to around 00:01:12:00, and make sure no clips are selected (you
can click the background of the Timeline to deselect clips).
3. Add a marker in one of the following ways:
Click the Add Marker button at the top left of the Timeline panel.
Right-click the Timeline time ruler and choose Add Marker.
Press M.
Premiere Pro adds a green marker to the Timeline, just above the playhead.
The same marker appears at the bottom of the Program Monitor.
