Search 4 Markers on Timelines or Show Clipmarkers in Index-

PostTue May 13, 2025 10:19 am

Hi all together.

I'm currently starting to edit a Feature Documentary on Davinci. I edited features docs on avid before.
I will start going thru the material on the daily timelines with the director and mark and descirbe things in clips.
After that i would like to find things quickly thru searching on the bin level, but also have an overview in the index menu for the timelines.

I thought i will do markers on the clips in the timeline and found out that these are different than putting them on the orignalclip itself: When i put the marker directliy on the "originalclip" it won't show in the index - when i put the marker on the "timelineclip" i can't search in the binsearch.

My question is:
Is there a way to search multiple timelines for marker metadata - or the other way around - is there a way to show the oringalclip markers in the index.

If no. - do you have a different workflow idea how it is possible to create metadata that is not limited to originalclip or timelineclip only?

Thanks a lot

It should. (It does here.)

Can you show us? Or maybe share a small Archive for inspection?

Add all markers to clips in the Media Pool BEFORE editing into a timeline. Now the markers will stay with the clip as it is added to a timeline & can be searched in the Edit index.

I just added a Marker to a clip already in a timeline and it got added to the Marker list in the Index.

Yes Jim, that's exactly what the OP is saying. Timeline markers are independent from clip markers.
