Ripple Trim does not adjust markers!
When sitting with a director (coming from FCP7) i would always create markers for to do list items for myself
in fcp7 when trimming the markers get adjusted as well which is great
is there a setting for AVID to behave this way?
I’ve tried changing track for markers (in markers tool) to TC1 and turning sync lock on for all tracks including TC1
markers stay exactly where they are even when i trim blahhhh
thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
With the exception of a few things I was used to in FCP7, I’m loving AVID so much that looking back to FCP7 and Premiere makes me want to puke!

It does behave that way. Markers in Avid move when you insert edit, extract, or ripple trim. That was something FCP didn’t have for a long time. But I just did a ripple trim to test, and my markers moved. I trimmed picture on V1, and my marker on V8 moved…as did the few on the audio layers.
Not sure why it isn’t working for you.

Markers on V and A tracks move with the clip during edit operations. Markers and spanned markers on the TC track do not move with any edit operations.

OH…it’s on the TC track? I never put them there.

Hey Shane, Michael
What use is a spanned marker in a sequence if it can’t stay in sync with changes… or am I missing something?

In my experience Markers on video or audio tracks will stay locked to the frame where they are placed. For example if you mark a frame where you see or hear a handclap, the marker will always mark the the handclap. If you move that clip somewhere else in the sequence the marker will move along with it and still be on the handclap. The only exception I can think of is when you apply motion effects or time compression effects. As another poster already said, the timecode track can’t be trimmed so markers placed there won’t move when trimming.
If you’re seeing different behavior, you might have found a bug in the build you’re using or it’s possible that your sequence is somehow corrupted. Have you tried the old restart the computer trick? Let us know if you figure out what’s going on.

If it didn’t work this way, then someone would complain…”i’ve put my marker at a particular tc position, and now it moves around everytime i do a trim!”
If you want to mark a clip, and have it stay with that clip, put the marker on a clip.
If you want to mark a particular timecode for an event. (This is where my show must end, I need a commercial break around this far into a show) then use a timecode marker.
You have the best of both worlds here, you just used the wrong method for what you want to accomplish.
