ScreenFlow User Guide | Main Window : Timeline — Markers |
Overview
Markers allow you to define a point in your timeline that designates a major section of your presentation. Here is what a Marker looks like in the timeline (this one is at 1.75 seconds into the timeline): ![]() Navigation Aids
Markers are navigation aids - both for you and your viewers. You can easily move through chapters in your presentation by using shift-Up Arrow, and shift-Down Arrow. If you have Markers in your Timeline, then when you Export, you have the option of adding a Chapter Track to the exported movie. Your users will then have the ability to select chapters in your presentation, allowing them to quickly navigate through your movie. Adding a Marker
Move your scrubber to the point where you'd like to add the Marker, and then select "Add..." from the "Markers" menu in the "Edit" menu (or press the backwards-single quote key). Enter the text for the marker, and press OK. ![]() Markers without Text
If a Marker has no text, the Marker is not added to the Chapter Track during export. (To create a Marker without text, immediately press OK when presented with the Add Marker dialog). This is useful if you want to insert markers for quick navigation around your document during the editing process. Deleting Chapter Markers
To delete a single Chapter Marker, move the scrubber until it is over the Chapter Marker (it should snap). (You could use shift-up-arrow and shift-down-arrow to navigate to a particular Chapter Marker). The select "Delete" from the "Markers" menu in the "Edit" menu. To delete all Chapter Markers, select "Delete All" from the "Markers" menu in the "Edit" menu. |
