Chapter 8 Working With Video in Soundtrack Pro 191

Using Markers With Video

Soundtrack Pro displays Final Cut Pro scoring markers included in a video file imported

from Final Cut Pro. You can add time markers at points in time corresponding to

specific timecode positions in the video clip, and align audio clips with markers using

the snap feature. When you add a marker to a project containing a video, the video clip

displays the frame of the video that occurs at the marker’s position in time.

For more information about adding and moving markers, see “Working With Markers”

on page 119.

You can score both Final Cut Pro scoring markers and time markers to the playhead,

letting you synchronize the audio with specific points in the video.

Using Final Cut Pro Scoring Markers

When you import a video file from Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express HD,

Soundtrack Pro displays any Final Cut Pro scoring markers included in the video file in

the Timeline. Scoring markers have an orange handle in the area above the Time ruler.

You cannot move or edit Final Cut Pro scoring markers in Soundtrack Pro.

Using Markers to Align Audio Clips to Timecode

You can add a time marker at a specific timecode position in a video clip, and align

audio clips with the time marker or with a Final Cut Pro scoring marker.

To add a time marker at a specific timecode position in a video clip, do one of

the following:

m Type the timecode position where you want to add the marker in the Time display,

press Return, then choose Mark > Insert Time Marker (or press M).

m Add a time marker, Control-click the marker’s handle, then type the timecode position

in the Edit dialog.

m Make the Details tab active, add a time marker, select the marker handle, then enter a

new position in the Position value slider in the Details tab.

In order to add a marker at a specific timecode position, the Time ruler units must be

set to the timecode format of the video in your project.
