cursor motion and markers
Vegas pro 9 / 10
I always have a tough time finding stuff in the help file it seems.
I’m sure its my doing but sometimes it seems like the file is setup to test my aggravation resistance….
I’m really sorry to say it but I find the help file to be one of the most maddening things I’ve run across to find information in.
I never stay with it long enough to learn to use it competently I guess, then next time… same problem. My searches don’t find the information I need. Or more accurately, I rarely find what I need. There are occasions where my search finds the right stuff straight away.
I must think in very different ways than that help is laid out.
Maybe someone can direct my thinking more in line with how the help file is setup.
I’ve made a mark on a clip in the timeline.. by right click on clip, choose `open in trimmer’… in the trimer set a mark
On the timeline, the mark is made visible.
How can I make the cursor jump to that mark (on the timeline)?
I found this information in the help file on shortcuts. Under a heading labeled
Cursor placement, loop region, and time selection
[…]
“… Move to previous/next marker
…. Ctrl+Left/Right Arrow ”“… Move cursor to corresponding marker or select corresponding region
…. 0-9 keys (not numeric keypad”[…]
Neither of those does poop for me so far as markers go.
The first jumps the cursor to beginning and end, the second appears to do nothing at all. -

Trimmer markers have almost nothing to do with timeline markers.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? -

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?”I’m curious then as to why those markers appear on the timeline?
Also I don’t see any other apparent way to set markers on clips on the timeline. The markers available under the insert menu set markers to the timeline itself, not to the clip.
The context menu on a timeline clip offers no chance to do anything concerning marks. And as mentioned above, the Insert menu appears to offer no chance to set a mark to a clip either.
What exactly I want to accomplish:
1) learn how to navigate between markers. I see stuff in help file that indicates Ctrl-arrow keys for that.. I don’t see it work here.
Sorry if my post was not clear about number 1. I had hoped that the line:
“How can I make the cursor jump to that mark (on the timeline)?”
Would have made that part at least somewhat clear.
As to what I hope to accomplish by setting markers:
2) I hoped to set markers in two (or more) different clips, and use those markers to align the clips.

Try making the markers in the timeline instead of the trimmer. Then those keyboard shortcuts will work.
