Marker manager

The Marker manager lists all markers contained in the current project and allows you to jump to or play them directly from the list.

To display the Marker Manager, choose View > Manager > Marker Manager from the menu or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Alt + M.

In the column Type all markers of the project are listed. Use the checkbox in the Selection column to select markers to move them, color them or delete them together. Double-clicking the checkbox moves the play cursor to the marker position.

In the context menu of a marker in the list, you can redefine selected markers as CD Track Index, CD Subindex, CD Pause, CD End, or Position markers, insert new markers, rename marker names, edit marker positions (numerically enter absolute position), move markers (numerically enter a relative position change), and delete markers.

If you select two markers, you can use the context menu to set a Range between selected markers.

In the Position column, you can edit the marker position directly in the Marker Manager:

  • Double-click on a parameter and enter a new value.

  • Numerical values can also be changed by dragging with the mouse, additionally press Ctrl for larger value changes. Pressing the Tab key moves the cursor to the next editable value.

    For time specifications, you can change the unit of measurement used to the right of the number.

For range markers, you can edit the end of the range in the column End.

Marker name: To rename a marker, double-click it and enter a new name. You can switch between the text fields with the arrow up/down keys.

Search for markers: Enter a marker name or part of a marker name in the input field and press Enter or click on the binoculars to search for markers. The list of markers is filtered by the search term.

Play marker: Select a marker and click on this button . Playback is started 2 seconds before the marker, the standard lead time, see Program settings > Playback, and stopped 2 seconds after the marker. If loop playback is active, the time period around the marker is looped. No playback area must be selected in the project for this to work.

Filter marker view: To display only certain marker types, you can filter the view with this button. You can determine which types are to be displayed in the menu under the arrow on the right of the button. All marker types in the menu that are not selected are filtered out.

Options

  • Scroll list during playback: During playback, the marker that the play cursor has passed is highlighted. If this option is active, the list scrolls during playback to keep this highlighting visible.

  • List export options: This allows you to customize the information that is stored during marker list export (under Functions).

This button opens the CD-Index-Manager.

Functions: Besides the self-explanatory functions Insert new marker, Delete marker and Delete all markers there are two more functions:

  • Export marker: You can export Marker manager information as a text file. To do this, click the Export text button in the toolbar. The Windows text editor opens with an excerpt from the marker manager list. The following information will be saved:

    • Project name
    • Marker position in project
    • Marker type
    • Marker name
    • ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) for CD track indexes

    You can find this file in the project folder (Projectname_marker.txt).

    You can also execute the list export via the menu File > Advanced export > List export without having to open the Manager.

  • Copy selected markers into selected object(s): This allows you to transfer markers from the project to the audio file of an object. This corresponds to the function Copy VIP markers to audio markers, with the difference that here you can select the markers to be transferred. Select the markers to be transferred and the objects under the markers into which the markers are to be transferred before you execute the function.

Color: Click on the color field to select another marker color.

Project markers/audio markers/warp markers: Switch the display between displaying the project markers and the Audio markers or Warp markers
