Tutorial 8 – Working with video
Working with markers
Working with markers
When syncing up audio events to film cues or video, it is common to use markers. Markers are a
powerful feature in SONAR that helps to simplify the task of identifying major events in a song or
video. They can be used to clarify where a verse or chorus begins in a rock tune or, in the case of
film scoring, they can be used to identify hit points (points in the film where you want a musical event
to synchronize with a visual event). Before we get started on this next exercise, return to the
Video
Properties dialog box and click the Video Settings tab. Set Start Time to 1:01:000 , Trim-in Time
to 00:00:00:00 and Trim-out Time to 00:00:44:23 .
Let’s say we want our music to start at the beginning of the video right when the sun comes out. This
occurs about 4 seconds into the movie. Taking a closer look, this happens at 4 seconds and 10
frames into the clip, which, expressed in SMPTE time code, is 00:00:04:10.
There are several ways to add markers in SONAR:
• Place the
Now Time at the location where you would like a marker, then select Project > Insert
Marker or press M.
• Click the Insert Marker button in the Control Bar’s Markers module.
• Click the Add Marker button in the Markers view.
Let’s open the Markers view by selecting Views > Markers .
The Markers view is very handy when working with events in a film. The first thing we want to do is
add a new marker to the project, indicating the start of the project. To do this, click the
Insert
Markers button to open the Marker dialog box.
