Which marker workflow best supports navigation and notes on the timeline?

• A. Markers are used only for exporting notes.
• B. Markers can be placed with M, but there is no navigation between them.
• C. Add markers with M, move between markers with J/K/L, and use marker notes or color coding to annotate edit points.
• D. Markers automatically summarize all edits.

Answer: (C)

Markers on the timeline are for quick navigation and for capturing notes about edit points. The best workflow is to add markers with the M key, move between them with the J/K/L shortcuts, and use marker notes or color coding to annotate what each point means or what needs to be done. This setup lets you scrub or play to the next important moment, then instantly reference the context you wrote or the color cue you assigned, keeping the editing process focused and communicative with reviewers. In practice, you’d place a marker at a cut or beat where timing needs adjustment, write a concise note, and maybe color-code it to indicate the type of action required (e.g., timing, color, sound). The other options miss essential capabilities—markers aren’t only for exporting notes, there is navigation between markers, and they don’t automatically summarize edits.
