Using Timeline markers for comments

You can add comments to a Timeline marker, and if you are in QuickTime Editing mode, the comments are displayed in the Monitor window as ghosted text. The default duration for marker comments is one frame (the frame where the marker appears on the Timeline), and the comment displays when that frame displays. To display the comment for longer than one frame, increase the comment duration.

To create a marker comment:

1 Activate the Program view or the Timeline.

2 Go to the time location where you want to add the link.

3 Click the Marker button () at the bottom of the Program view, choose Mark, and select a marker number.

4 When the marker appears in the Timeline, double-click it to open the Marker dialog box.

5 Type a comment in the Comment field.

6 Type a duration in the Duration field for the amount of time you want the comment to display.
