Add marker not working

PostWed Aug 02, 2017 3:14 am

Hi all, I have suddenly lost the ability to add markers in the timeline, none of the methods work, such as keyboard shortcut, mark menu, or add mark button. I have tried to add markers on various timelines and projects to no avail. They had been working fine up until now, so I'm not sure what I have done. If anyone could shed some light on this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately the update did not fix the problem, still can't add markers.

Specify: you cannot see the marker or you cannot add it?

Park in the timeline, press "m" twice: dies the marker pop up came up?

In your timeline setting, there is a "make marker visible" setting, is it on?

Thanks for replying Walter,

yes it was very simple :oops:In case anyone else makes this mistake there is an option to show flags and markers in the timeline view options, which I frequently use to change the size of my tracks but never thought to look there for marker options. Lesson learnt.

thank you, Peter.
This is what I found, I think it is the same as your.
In “the timeline viewer options”, (the icon with three windows to choose time line size the configurations) click on the "make marker visible" box.

Thanks so much. I was very perplexed. One project had markers showing, and one didn't.
