Default How to Import Markers and specify Timeline Oriantation.

I'm doing a project involving 14 hours of audi being loded from DAT tapes. I'm having my assistant digitize in the other studio
while I start editing. The problem is, every session he gives me puts the Memory locations at the head of my timeline. I can get the transfer to put the audio in a specific location on my timeline but not the markers. They become disassociated. Is there a way to move them? we're talking like 100 marker locations for every DAT tape.

Markers are on a track like everything else, so you can move them.

If, for example, your audio is at hour 7 and your markers are at hour one, you can use the the session start time to realign your markers. Change the session start time to hour one and choose maintain RELATIVE TC. Your audio and markers will be aligned at hour one. From there, you can change the session start time to whichever hour you need it to be and choose RELATIVE again.

Or, as Airon mentioned, place your cursor in the marker track somewhere past the last marker, hit Shift-return to select the entire track to timeline start, cut, paste to hour seven (or whatever).

Hopefully, one of these two methods should do the trick.

OK, I got it... here's what I did.
I opened up the session that DAT#6 was loaded into.
I then reset the Session start time to match the master Edit session I was already working on.
Then I tried to select the audio and all 132 Markers and spot them to Hour 6.
It wouldn't let me spot but would let me cut and paste the marker locations.
Then I saved and imported into my editing session.
Thanks for the tips.
