  • Add marker to nested PSD sequence?

    Posted by Erik Mickelson on October 21, 2010 at 4:40 pm

    Hi all,
    I can’t seem to find a way to add a marker to a nested Photoshop sequence. I have my main sequence, then import a PSD file as a sequence. Drag that into my main sequence. Next I spot markers in the timeline at certain events. I then want to put markers on the PSD sequence so I can make my edits at the markers.

    The timeline does not seem to sync with the sequence either, I would be able to bypass PSD sequence markers if I could get the PSD sequence to sync with the timeline. I double click on the nested sequence and the playhead is not synched.

    Here is a bit of a tedious workaround.

    1) Don’t edit your PSD seq into your main seq
    2) Edit your main seq as a nested layer into your PSD Seq.
    3) Now you’ll see the markers from your main seq as clip markers in your PSD.
    4) Optionally you can match these and add them as timeline markers in the PSD seq.
    5) edit your PSD animations as normal
    6) Remove your main SEQ nested clip from the PSD SEQ timeline
    7) Now edit the PSD seq timeline into your main timeline as a nested clip.

    not fun….but can be done

    OMG! No way!
    Thanks for the response but that is NOT gonna work. Back to FCP for projects that need spotting for graphics. Is this an extreme oversight on Adobe’s part?

    try this…

    1) make a color moatte in your project panel
    2) edit it to you main seq…
    3) Add markers to it…
    4) then cut and paste it into your PSD nest

    that’s not too bad
