Marking Controls

Marking controls let you set In and Out points, add markers and keyframes, and

navigate to matching frames in master or affiliate clips (this is called performing a

match frame). There are keyboard shortcuts for each control.

Â Mark In (I): Click to set the In point at the current position of the playhead.

Â Mark Out (O): Click to set the Out point at the current position of the playhead.

Â Add Marker (M): Click to add a marker at the current playhead position. While editing

you can use markers to make notes about important points in your sequence, such

as areas to change, potential edit points, or sync points. Markers can be added to

sequences in the Canvas and Timeline. For more information, see Volume II,

Chapter 4, “Using Markers.”

Important: If a clip is selected in the Timeline, and the playhead touches that clip, a

marker is added to the sequence clip, not the sequence.

Â Add Motion Keyframe (Control-K): Click to add a keyframe to the current clip at the

position of the playhead. This button adds keyframes for clip parameters such as

Scale, Rotate, Crop, Distort, and so on.

By default, this button sets keyframes for all motion parameters at once. To add

keyframes for individual motion parameters, Control-click this button and choose a

motion parameter from the shortcut menu. For more information, see Volume III,

Chapter 13, “Adjusting Parameters for Keyframed Effects.”

Â Show Match Frame (F): When you click this button, the frame you see in the Canvas

appears in the Viewer. Specifically, the master clip for the sequence clip that

intersects the Canvas/Timeline playhead is opened in the Viewer. The Viewer

playhead is set to the frame shown in the Canvas, and the In and Out points for the

sequence clip are set in the master clip in the Viewer. This allows you to easily get

back to the master clip for any affiliate clip, in case you want to use the footage for

another purpose, or if you want to see the original video and audio clip items of the

master clip. For a more comprehensive discussion of the Match Frame controls, see

Volume II, Chapter 24, “Matching Frames and Playhead Synchronization.”

Â Mark Clip (X): Click to set In and Out points at the boundaries of the clip that

currently intersects the Canvas/Timeline playhead. The clip on the lowest-numbered

track with Auto Select enabled is used.
