Editing Markers Into Sequences
You can edit markers into your sequence as if they were clips. However, a marker edited
directly from the Browser into a sequence becomes an independent clip, with no
affiliation to the clip from which it came. In most cases, you should avoid this, because
it can make media management more difficult later.
For more control over markers that you want to use for editing, you should use the
Make Subclips command to turn markers inside of a clip into new subclips. For more
information, see Chapter 2, “
Creating Subclips ,” on page 35.
Exporting Markers With Your QuickTime Movies
Final Cut Pro allows you to export markers in a clip or a sequence as text tracks in
QuickTime movies that you create. These markers can be used by the QuickTime Player
in a variety of different ways, and can be used for authoring in DVD Studio Pro, iDVD,
and other applications, such as Soundtrack.
For information about exporting QuickTime movies with DVD Studio Pro, compression,
and chapter markers, see Volume IV, Chapter 18, “Exporting QuickTime Movies.” You can
also refer to Volume IV, Chapter 16, “Exporting Sequences for DVD.”
