Learn about the various types of markers available in Premiere Pro.
Markers indicate important points in time and help you position and arrange clips. You can use a marker to identify an important action or sound in a sequence or clip. Markers are only for reference and don’t alter the video.

|
Comment Marker |
Comment markers are used to comment or add a note about the selected part of the timeline. |
|
Chapter Marker |
Chapter markers in the project allow reviewers to quickly jump to those points in the finished video. |
|
Segmentation Marker |
Segmentation markers help you define ranges in the video to automate workflows. For example, you can identify certain areas as being leaders or segments where commercials go. |
|
Web Link |
Web Link markers allow you to add a URL that provides more information about the selected part of the movie clip. |
Use the Markers panel (Window > Markers) to view all your Markers in an open clip or sequence. Marker details, such as marker colors, In points, Out points, and comments, are displayed. Clicking a clip thumbnail in the Markers panel moves the playhead to the location of the corresponding marker.
The Markers panel shows the In and Out points for all Sequence and Clip markers. You can change a marker’s In or Out point to change it from a single frame marker to one covering a range of time.
Inside the Markers panel menu, you can view new filter options to Show All Markers, Show Sequence Markers, and Show Clip Markers. Choose any one filter to view the markers that are most relevant to your current work. Checking on Ignore Selection in Timeline will allow you to filter markers without caring about which track items are selected in the timeline.
Additional Markers panel improvements in Premiere Pro (beta)
If two or more track items (with Clip markers) are selected in the timeline, you can view all of their clip markers together in the Markers panel.
Multiple selected markers can be deleted at the same time in the Markers panel.
Sequence timecode is always shown in the Markers panel whenever a track item with markers is selected. However, if you load a clip with markers into the Source Monitor, then the source timecode will be shown for those markers in the Markers panel.
New user interface indicators have been added to the Markers panel to show where Source or Sequence In and Out points have been placed amidst the markers displayed in the Markers panel.
