Types of Markers

Soundtrack Pro displays Final Cut Pro HD scoring markers, and lets you add your own
markers to a project. You can add two kinds of markers: time markers and beat
markers. The two types can be distinguished by their handles: Time markers have
green handles, and beat markers have purple handles. Final Cut Pro HD scoring
markers have orange handles.

This section discusses how to work with time markers and beat markers in a project.
For information about working with Final Cut Pro HD scoring markers, see “
