Using markers and chapters

Markers help you organize a composition like bookmarks or headers for your transcript. They also work as chapters for your project. They're also handy for quick navigation because you can instantly jump between them using the marker icon near the play button.

Adding a marker

  1. Click in your script where you want to add a marker.
  2. Press M or # while either script tool is not enabled or use Underlord and look for Add Chapters.

On a blank line, you can also add a marker by selecting ... > Add marker

Navigating markers

If you need to navigate between markers, you can do so easily from the marker icon near the play button at the bottom of the project. For more details see: Playback and navigation

Moving markers

If you need to adjust the position of a marker, hover your mouse over the marker and you will see a Snag_1fbba774.png grabber icon appear to the left. Click and hold the grabber icon, then move it to the desired drop location. As you do so, you will see words in the script become highlighted in grey. Dropping the marker at that location will place the marker before the highlighted word.

Deleting markers
