There are several great examples with which this helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In an interview with someone, you may want to start breaking down the clip into the different answers. For example, your subject is talking about the mode of transport they use to get to work. This part of the clip should be labeled accordingly. Then, when you come back to the interview and need to pull out that specific answer quickly to insert into your edit, you know exactly where it is.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When you have a larger long-form project on your timeline in Premiere Pro, it can be hard to know which piece of footage is which without zooming in and playing through each individual clip. That\u2019s annoying and takes time. By adding notes above the timeline and the corresponding clips, you can quickly remind yourself what the clip is, without having to play back through it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In some cases, I\u2019ve also used notes to remind me of what I still need to shoot. For example, in the tutorial video you\u2019ll see a sequence I\u2019m currently working on. There are a few \u201cblank spots\u201d on the timeline because I don\u2019t yet have that footage. By using the markers, I\u2019m able to A) remind myself what\u2019s left to shoot and B) when it comes to adding that footage in, I know exactly where to put it and where to cut.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve started using markers, I guarantee you won\u2019t go back. It\u2019s a really simple little hack that can save you a lot of time! Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>With the playhead on the timeline, identify where you\u2019d like the marker to begin. Press M on your keyboard.<\/li><li>A marker window will open. Here, you can add in a title. For example, \u201cGoPro roll back\u201d \u2013 a note I used to remind myself to add in footage of me rolling back off the boat at the start of a dive, using my GoPro.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You can then change the duration of the marker so that it covers the right amount on the timeline, as well as picking a color.<\/li><li>Click OK and then click and drag each end of the marker to ensure it fits the correct space above the timeline. Easy as that!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I tend to think of these markers as virtual sticky notes. With just a quick glance, you can navigate larger sequences on your timeline so much quicker, making you a more effective editor. Give it a go and see what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking to speed up your video editing?
