Marker that sticks
I need my markers to move as I slide events around but is there a way to lock a marker that always stays in place and still let the rest move with events?
I’d like to know at a glance where the end of my project falls. I have created a track and have put a long text file on it that says END and I lock that event in place so I can see where the end of the show is suppose to fall but the track is not always in view as I work the timeline.Roger Bansemer – PaintingAndTravel.com

No.

So, you want a “graphical” representation ON your Timeline that will ALWAYS be in view? Yes? What I am offering you is NOT what this function is originally meant for, but try this:-
On the Toolbar Go to:-
1] View > Video Bus Track – Select
2] Insert MUTE Envelope
3] At the Program END apply a POINT and MUTE the Envelope by pulling it down.
Result?
A] What you can see in the Video Bus Track AFTER that Mute will be “greyed-out” – visually WARNING you you’ve reached the END of your Project.
PLUS
B] As you Roll your Tracks UP or DOWN that Video Bus and as you approach that MUTE, or here, your PROJECT END, it will ALWAYS be revealed.

Wow, that’s a cool workaround. It isn’t as convenient as an event marker, but it’s close.

Hi Graham,
That’s a great suggestion. Works for just what I want.
Been busy editing two new shows.
Thanks Graham.Roger Bansemer – PaintingAndTravel.com
