Markers and restrictions (a type of marker) are features used in MediaCentral Production Management assets. Markers and information about them are displayed as an overlay in the Media Viewer. For more information, see Working with the Storyboard Tab.

Any markers that are contained within the In and Out marks are copied to the sequence when you edit the clip into the sequence. Copying markers with a clip is a “one-time copy.” If you lengthen a clip by trimming, markers that are included in the added part of the clip are not copied. If you shorten a clip by trimming, you remove any markers that are included in the trimmed portion. They are not restored if you lengthen the clip. To restore the markers, redo the edit. You can use Match Frame from the sequence to locate the original clip. See Using Match Frame.

Any restrictions that are contained within the In and Out marks are copied to the sequence when you edit the clip into the sequence. Similar to markers, the restriction appears in the Record mode of the Media Viewer. However unlike single markers, the Media Viewer displays restrictions if you shorten and later length the asset to include the restriction.

When working with shotlists or news sequences, markers are not added for audio-only clips — such as a voice-over. You can copy markers only from a clip that includes a video track. These restrictions do not apply to Sequences.

When you move a segment of a sequence that contains markers, the markers are also moved.
