Is there a way to Search Markers???

[Steve Knattress]

I have just tried something similar with FCP7

I have some longish cycle headcam footage files which I went through marking certain instances, as marker 1,2,3 etc.

I left the marker default names as they were and placed a note on the marker, this appears as master comment 1 in the browser within each clip

I then added other notes such as location, in master comments ,2,3,4 to the browser list markers
The last comment added to a marker for a certain clip in the browser is also inserted in the same comment for that clip. (ie it changes as comments are added to the markers.)

If I do a “next find” within master comment 1 It will find and highlight the next instance of the search criteria in the browser.
(the name remains as MC1,2,3,4 in the find box although I have re-named them in the browser list headings. What is the difference with comment A and B which can also be re-named?)

However “find all” results in “no matching items” from the maker comment columns as suggested above.

I am having an identical problem in FCP 6.0.2. When I search markers for “find next”, it locates the markers. When run the same search terms for “find all” I get “No matching items.” I trashed prefs and restarted, and am still stuck. I’m searching a feature doc with hundreds of hours of footage and lots of information in marker names and comments, so this is going to be a problem. Has anyone had success with this issue?
many thanks!
