Default Markers question

Since i use markers for marking scene boundaries, i can‘t use markers for a ‚to do list‘ purpose.
Is there a way to show/hide different groups of markers?
Or could you recommend any other way of doing this (preferably without a third party application)?

PT markers are very inflexible. Create a track to the top of edit window where you create dummy clips for your own markers. This way you get all the flexibility you need with little expense of extra clutter on your clip list

.

Why don't you cut your video file into scenes and re-name them. They will show up in the clips list and you just click on them there to navigate to them. You can even put TC in the name if you want. Then you can free up your markers do to something more interesting.

Soundflow has a widget that allows you to extract and replace markers and save the sets for different purposes.
You can also swap markers for chopped regions and vice versa.

Very useful!


Its really about time PT had multiple marker lanes and while you're at it get rid of the limit on the number of markers, what's all that about in 2020??



I've tried using chopped up tracks and all that, but they're not as useful as markers that can be seen vertically throughout all your tracks.

Multiple lanes? I would be happy if the markers shifted when you add/cut time from the session

They do if you have all selection.
The markers ruler needs to be highlighted/ selected.
