If the selected
file type supports it, you can select the Save project markers with media file check box to include markers,

is a reference
to a project file only. If you modify the project file after rendering,
the project data will no longer match the rendered file. To edit a project
using a path reference, the project file and all media must be available
on your computer.
Perform the preceding procedure to choose the file type
and location for rendering your files, and select the Save each track as a separate file check box.
