Working with markers
Tutorial 8 – Working with video
From this dialog box, you can do a lot of very important things. First, let’s name this marker by typing
Intro in the Name field.
Next, select the Lock to SMPTE (Real World) Time check box. This option is very important when
working with video. If a marker is not locked to SMPTE time, its position in relation to events on the
video will change with tempo and meter changes in the project.
You might also notice that the
Time value changes to the SMPTE format after you selected the
check box. This determines where the location of the marker will be. We know in the video that the
sun comes out at about four seconds and ten frames into the video. Let’s set the
Time value to
00:00:04:10 .
Click OK to insert the marker and close the Marker dialog box. You can place as many markers as
you need for a project to sync up all of your events. The Markers view will now display the marker
you just created, with the name
Intro assigned to it. The Marker view toolbar contains the following
commands that apply to selected markers.
Close the Markers view now and take a look at the time ruler in SONAR, which spans the top of the
Clips pane in the Track view. You will notice there is now a flag named
Intro indicating where your
new marker is in the project.
