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):
Markers are navigation aids for both you and your viewers.
You can easily move through the markers in your presentation by using shift-Up Arrow, and shift-Down Arrow.
If you have Markers in your Timeline, then when you Export to a QuickTime movie, 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.
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
.
If you do not enter any text into the box and just press
OK
the marker will be present in the timeline, but it is not
added to the Chapter Track during export. This is useful if you want
to insert markers for quick navigation around your document during the
editing process.
To delete a single Marker, move the scrubber until it is over
the Marker (it should snap) or use shift-up-arrow and shift-down-arrow
to navigate to a particular Marker). Then select Delete
from
the Markers
menu in the Edit
menu or press shift- .
To delete all Chapter Markers, select Delete All
from the
Markers
menu in the Edit
menu.
