Ways to Use Locators
There are many possible uses for locators. A few examples are:
  Visual track alignments: Use locators at matching points in synchronized audio and video tracks so that if the tracks lose sync, you can visually realign the locators in the Timeline to restore sync.
  Music cues: Use locators to mark the IN and OUT points for music.
  Trim markers: Use locators in the Timeline to return directly to an edit you have designated for further trimming at a later time.
  Cutaway markers: Use locators to identify cutaway shots with comments so that when you return to cover jump-frame edits with cutaway footage, you can use Find procedures to quickly access the shots.
  Replace markers: Use locators to mark filler segments with comments to identify the items that should replace the filler.
  Semipermanent IN or OUT points: Use locators with the Mark Locators button to put multiple sets of locators on a long clip, and so on.
  Add comments for EDLs: Use locators to add comments to sequence clips to appear in lists that you create, such as an EDL or cut list.
  Print a list of reviewer comments: Use the Locators window to print a list of changes or comments that you can distribute to other people in the production.
When you insert a locator, it appears as an oval in the Timeline, in the position bar, and at the bottom of the frame in the monitor. The color of the oval corresponds to the color of the locator button you used.
You can add locators and comments to your source material while you are in an editing session, as described in Adding Locators While Editing.
