Final Cut Tip o' the Day 5/27 - Navigating with Markers

I tried to make a different tutorial on Saturday about adding quick transitions to text, but it wouldn't go through, so maybe I'll do it again tomorrow. BUt for today:

Did you know that if you place a marker in the timeline ruler (meaning when you place a marker, make sure no clips are selected, and the marker will appear where the playhead is in the timeline) you can right click in the timeline ruler (where the numbers are) and go directly to any marker with a single click.

This is very useful if you are comparing parts of a timeline that are separated by a long space and you want to be able to jump back and forth without scrubbing. Or, if you want to go back to a certain spot after you have done some other editing.

Make sure you name your markers. You do this by hitting the "m" key twice. Once to set the marker, and the second time to name it. When you right click in the timeline ruler, you will see the names of the markers at the bottom.
