    Hi,
    I have two masterclips. The first ist furnished with markers and I need now the markers on the second masterclip.
    Is there a way to copy and paste them into an masterclip? Also that FCP doesn´t create new supclips after pasting the markers.

    Just duplicate the clip with the markers. You should be able to drag a marker within a clip in the Browser to another location in the Browser, and a subclip should result. Or select it, and type cmd+u.

    Hi,
    you missunderstood me. I don´t want to duplicate the supclips.
    I need the markerpositions from an masterclip in another masterclip (Soundtrack) with different content.

    FCP’s handling of markers is abysmal!!! It drives me nuts every time I have to make changes to a timeline that has markers in it and re-export to DVDStudio. You can’t move them around without using a keystroke and you can’t move them earlier in a timeline at all!!

    I tried different copy and paste tests to get markers from one clip to another and it doesn’t seem to work.
    I don’t think there is a solution to your question that is short of adding them again manually.

    You have me confused… you want markers in one clip to be copied to another clip that isn’t the same video? Don’t know of a way to do this at all. Why would you want to do this?
