unlink video and audio

that in the video he says you can’t add markers on an audio only primary storyline. thus he lifts it and applies markers to the long gap clip which is now aligned to the connected audio clip.

[Craig Alan] “he says you can’t add markers on an audio only primary storyline. “
No he doesn’t. He says he’d like to place a marker at 1:30, but “unfortunately FCP doesn’t allow for that”. He was alluding to the fact that you can’t place TIMELINE markers as a time reference. Apparently that was a bit to vague. Marking the clip would obviously not make a lot of sense.

Dummy it down for me. Why would placing a marker at a downbeat not help align a visual connected clip?
And how is the marker in my screen shot above not at 1:30:00?Mac Pro, macbook pro, Imacs (i7); Canon 5D Mark III/70D, Panasonic AG-HPX170/AG-HPX250P, Canon HV40, Sony Z7U/VX2000/PD170; FCP 6 certified; FCP X write professionally for a variety of media; teach video production in L.A.

Because he’s not marking the downbeat. He’s marking the overall program length he wants to end at.

Ok. Follow that, So why not trim the song to the length you want to end at and then place markers on the song?

Something tells me you didn’t get the whole point of the clip. Did you actually watch it to the end?

Nope. I was assuming it was an example/suggestion answering the OP’s question. I thought, and maybe I’m wrong, that she needed to trim visuals to a fixed song track that I think was embedded in a AV clip. And yes I misunderstood his opening remarks that you can’t set a marker on the timeline itself rather than a clip in the timeline.
Interesting. I remember in the debate forum that early on David Lawrence was pointing out that the then new FC used relative time rather than absolute time and that he found that problematic I didn’t quite follow that then but this link kinda brought that memory up. The gap clip does seem to act as a workaround if you need to use the timeline as a track of absolute time. Great link. Thanks.
