If you convert a slideshow to a track, each still clip has a marker placed at its beginning.
The markers are named the same as the still asset used for its clip. These markers retain
any pause and DVD@CCESS settings that may have been set in the Slideshow editor. If
any slides use transitions, the transitions appear as a shaded area in the timeline with a
cell marker at their beginning.

Transition indicator

You can configure the transition by selecting the clip and making changes in the Clip
Inspector’s Transition tab. If a still with a transition also has a pause, the marker for the
next clip is placed at the beginning of the transition instead of at the next clip’s start. See

Using Still Clip Transitions

and

Converting a Slideshow to a Track

for more information.

See

Working with GOP Settings

for more information about GOP structures, and

Markers to Your Video

for information on using Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express to add

markers to a clip.

Creating and Editing Markers

Do one of the following:
