How Do I Get Markers on Clip in Source Monitor to Show Up On Timeline?

[Jim Zons]

ARG! Frustrating! I am installing Premiere CS6 to replace CC right now to see if I can get these features back.

Have you tried expanding the track in the timeline? When a track is minimized you can’t see markers. Really annoying.

I do not see a way in Premiere CC to expand a track: the little “arrow” to expand does not seem to be there anymore, unlike in earlier versions.

Hover to the right of the track name and scroll up or down.

Or click the wrench icon under the sequence timecode and select expand all tracks. You can also see if the show clip markers- setting is on from the wrench menu.

Thanks for pointing out the wrench menu … very helpful! Alas, after clicking on the menu, and clicking the options to turn on the waveforms and show clip markers, neither happened. I went back and reinstalled CS6 and my markers automatically showed up and was easily able to show the waveform by expanding the track it is on …. just like I used to do in CS3. I fail to understand what purpose was served by making it more difficult, or even impossible to do these things is CC? Same thing I noticed is that the ability to access the resize menu in Photoshop by right clicking the title bar for the image has gone away. Why Adobe why? Reminds me a little of Apple’s arrogance when they redid Final Cut …

You must be doing something wrong. It works fine on my end.

As Robert says, the markers come across to the timeline fine. In CC 2014, the markers are by default, a dull grey coloured. Easy to miss:)

In terms of expanding tracks, viewing waveform, seeing markers from Source onto Timeline, Premiere CC works perfectly. This is a case of user error, and reverting back to CS6 is a big mistake as CC has progressed so far.

The main issue is expanding and minimising the track height, which is going to restrict the viewing of markers. Rather than using fiddly mouse clicks and little menu drop-downs, I suggest mapping keyboard shortcuts to instantly toggle track heights.

I have ‘Expand all Tracks‘ set to Shift+T and ‘Minimize all Tracks‘ set to CTRL+T. Bosh. Job done.

Mapping these keyboard shortcuts also helps when your audio track heights get out of hand. It’s common to use the mouse wheel to expand the track height to MAXIMUM, which is really huge, then another track to another size etc etc, and before you know it you’ve got a mess of tracks and it’s hard to see which track is which and you’re scrolling the timeline all over the place to see what’s what, then you’re spinning the mouse wheel over the track target icons to get all the tracks back to a uniform size.

If you set keyboard short cuts… CTRL+T. Boom! All tracks back to minimum. Nice and clean. Nice and quick.

Jim Zons – I wasn’t having any luck with either method (expanding the track or clicking ‘show clip markers’) when I find this post. But, I got it working!

I’m guessing it’s a bug, but on my system (OSX 10.10.2, Adobe PP CC 8.2.0), I had to expand the track ever so slightly and the markers would show up. It actually was quite painful trying to get it just right – the only reason I even tried this was because when I wouldexpand the track, the markers would flash on quickly and then go away while I was expanding. I had to find the right spot and then leave the track as it was.

Hope this helps.
