Navigating With Markers

You can navigate through your clip or sequence using the markers you’ve set. This is
useful when you want to quickly navigate to specific points in a clip or in the Timeline.
For example, you can place markers in the Timeline to mark two different frames for
matching during color correction, or you may place markers to quickly jump to
different scenes in a sequence.

To move the playhead to a marker in the Viewer or Canvas, do one of the
following:

m

Drag the playhead to the marker in the scrubber bar.

If snapping is turned on, the playhead snaps to the position of a nearby marker. When
the playhead is over a marker in the Viewer or Canvas, the marker turns yellow.

m

Control-click in the Current Timecode field, then choose a marker from the shortcut menu.

Choose a marker.
