Marking a spot in sequence
« on: April 02, 2019, 09:13:17 AM »
Maybe this already exists but what I would like is to be able to watch a sequence play back and where I want to note a point to change something be able to click somewhere on the time line and place a mark. Example, x seconds into a song I want to change the properties of an effect. I would watch the play back and then click somewhere and set a temporary mark at that location/time so it's easy to find during editing. I know I can use the "t" as a timing mark. Is that the best or only way?

I don't want to submit this as an enhancement if there is a way to do this now.

Thanks

I've always just kept my finger on the mouse and pointed to the pause button.  Pause the playback, make a note, and resume playback.

I think you can just click the spot in the waveform.  Then stop playback and the waveform will still mark where you clicked.  In fact you should be able to click the waveform and then hit the spacebar to stop playback and hit the spacebar again and it should start playing where you clicked.  That is unless someone has changed things.

I will give your ideas a try and see which approach works best for me.

you can set marks as numbers 0 - 9 on the audio timeline, then 'jump' to number, would this be useful?
Can't remember off the top of my head how, I'm sure Keith's covered it in a video somewhere
I know just enough to be dangerous :0

Right click the timeline and set a number for reference. To get back to the reference number, use ctrl and the appropriate number
