Seriously Adobe, is this a bug or a feature?
In Premiere CC if you export audio-only from a timeline that has timeline markers and then re-import to PPro – the timeline markers are embedded in the audio!
I use extended markers for annotating interviews all the time. The only reason I use timeline markers is because clip markers are fiddly and you can’t see them all together in the markers panel, so this is great for me. Finally, I can annotate an interview and have that information follow the relevant sections all the way through an edit.
So is this a feature or I should I thank the bug fairy? If it’s a feature how can I use it without having to export and re-import my audio all the time?
Solve that and all I need is:
-The ability to make markers any colour I want
-To be able to see all clip markers in a timeline in the markers panel (clip markers are much more useful than timeline markers! why are they second class citizens?)
-Keyboard shortcuts for extended markers
-To be able to annotate on the fly (FCP had an “add and edit marker” shortcut) that didn’t stop playback

I don’t know about persistent markers (interesting to learn this, though!) but I’d like to see one more thing in Premiere: The options to have labels next to markers. It’s an AWESOME function in AE. As far as I can tell, you can only determine the text associated with a marker by editing it. Am I correct in thinking that?

On one of the intros I use for a series of shows the timeline markers I put down for sfx during it’s creation have survived all the way through to the ProRes .mov master. Always freaks me out to load that clip into a timeline and have there be markers all over it.

Justin, not sure if I understood you right but you can make marker comments visible on the timeline by extending markers.
Open the “markers” panel and change the out point to give the marker duration – once it’s extended a little bit you can drag the in and out on the timeline. Not sure why it’s so complicated.

It’s not. I get that. But that’s not what I want. I don’t want a durational marker–I want a singular marker with a label that shows up in the timeline (like ae) and in the Program Monitor (like FCP7). I don’t want to have to arbitrarily adjust the duration of markers just to fit a label.Editor, Producer, DP

“Not sure why it’s so complicated” – I meant I’m not sure why Adobe make it so complicated to extend a marker.
Haven’t used labels in AE but sounds good.

Yikes. Color me embarrassed! Sorry to have taken your post wrong.

No problem. It’s happened before so I think it’s partly my scattergun writing style.

Extend Marker on the timeline: alt click and drag.

This question was probably asked before Premiere incorporated these features, but I found this thread while looking for a solution to do marker notes for clips on the fly, so I thought I’d add the solution for any future Googlers –
You can set Premiere Pro CC’s Workspace layout to Metalogging, load your clip into the Source window, and then punch “M” every time you want to make a note. The clip keeps playing, and you can click over to the Marker window and begin typing your notes on the fly.
