Arranging clips in a movie
Last updated 8/12/2010
When you select a clip in the Project view, the Monitor panel displays only the clip markers within a clip; when you
select a clip in the Timeline, it displays only timeline markers. Clip markers appear as icons within the clip in the
Timeline, but timeline markers appear in the Timeline time ruler.
Note: For information on adding, moving, and deleting markers in a clip or movie, see “ Working with clip and timeline
markers ” on page 104 in Adobe Premiere Elements Help.

Add clip and timeline markers
You can add markers to a clip in the Tasks panel, to an instance of a clip in the Timeline, or to the Timeline time ruler.
Markers fall into two categories: clip markers and timeline markers. In general, you add clip markers to signify
important points within an individual clip (to identify a particular action or sound, for example). You add timeline
markers to the Timeline time ruler to mark scenes, locations for titles, or other significant points within the entire
movie. Timeline markers can include comments and even URLs for linking to web pages.
You can number markers or use unnumbered markers. Use numbered markers if you plan to use many markers. You
can quickly jump, say, from marker number 5 to marker number 40 if the markers are numbered, whereas you can
quickly jump only to the previous or next marker if they are not. Also, if you want to use markers to log comments,
numbering them makes them easy to refer to. You could say to a collaborator, for example, “Check the color at marker
12,” or “See my comment at marker 42.”
Add a marker to a source clip or clip instance
1 Do one of the following:
• To add a marker to a source clip, double-click the clip in the Project view.
• To add a marker to a clip instance, double-click the clip in the Timeline.
The clip opens in the Preview window.
2 Move the current-time indicator in the Preview window to the frame where you want to set the marker.
3 Choose Clip > Set Clip Marker, and select either Unnumbered, Next Available Numbered, or Other Numbered.
4 If you chose Other Numbered, type a number in the Set Numbered Marker field, and click OK.
If you added the marker to the source clip, it is saved in the clip and is visible in all instances of it placed in the Timeline
later. If you added the marker to the clip instance, it is visible only in that instance of the clip in the Timeline.
Add a marker to the Timeline
1 Click in an empty space in a video or audio track in the Timeline. This makes the Timeline active and deselects any
clips.
2 Move the current-time indicator in the Timeline to the frame where you want to set the marker.
3 Right-click in the timeline ruler or Monitor panel or choose Timeline > Set Timeline Marker, and choose one of
the following options:
Unnumbered Sets an unnumbered marker.
Next Available Numbered Sets a numbered marker using the lowest unused number.
Other Numbered Opens a dialog box in which you can specify any unused number from 0 to 99.
