    Using Markers

    Posted by Alistair Gallop on August 30, 2011 at 10:11 am

    I am creating an infographic / animation video. I am having a bit of a problem using markers to mark out points in my soundtrack.

    I have created a main comp with contains all my nested comps (animations), my background and my voice over.

    I want to be able to add markers into my main comp at important points in the voiceover but I then want these to be visible in the nested comps. This is because I cant hear my voiceover in the nested comps but need to be able to know when to animate certain objects / text?

    I hope this makes sense and someone can suggest how to make this process more efficient?

    Thanks

    hey,

    2 way´s (maybe more.. but i got 2 for you)

    1:
    make a null set the marker on the null, copy it.

    2:
    set the marker in the timeline.
    drag the nested comp NEW (not alt-drag!) in the work-comp.
