Edit and move markers in Final Cut Pro for Mac
You can view and edit marker information, and you can move markers within a clip or to different clips.
Edit marker information and change marker types
By default, new markers are blue standard markers with placeholder text. You can change the text at any time, and you can change the marker to other marker types, including chapter markers, to-do items, and completed to-do items.
In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
Select the marker, then choose Mark > Markers > Modify Marker (or press Shift-M).
Control-click the marker and choose Modify.
Double-click the marker.
The marker controls appear above the marker.
To modify the marker, do any of the following:
Change the descriptive text for the marker: Type the new text in the text field.
Change the marker type: Click a button at the top of the marker controls.
Standard markers are blue, to-do items are red, and chapter markers are orange.
Tip: To quickly change the marker type, Control-click the marker and choose the type (Standard, To Do, or Chapter) from the shortcut menu.
Click Done.
Move markers
In the Final Cut Pro timeline, do any of the following:
Move a marker within a clip: Drag it left or right.
Note: You can only drag a marker within a clip. To move a marker to another clip, see Copy and paste markers, below.
Nudge a marker one frame to the right: Click the marker to select it, then choose Mark > Markers > Nudge Marker Right, or press Control-Period (.).
Nudge a marker one frame to the left: Click the marker to select it, then choose Mark > Markers > Nudge Marker Left, or press Control-Comma (,).
