What is the function of "Markers" in Avid Media Composer?

Markers serve a critical function by allowing users to annotate specific points in clips or sequences within Avid Media Composer. This capability is particularly valuable for editors, as it enables them to leave notes or reminders directly in the timeline, noting important scenes, effects, or transitions that need attention or revisiting.

The notes created with markers can include useful information, such as timestamps, comments about what should be edited or changed, or reminders to collaborate with other team members. As sequences become more complex, the use of markers becomes increasingly indispensable for tracking changes, identifying key moments, and enhancing communication about project details without cluttering the actual editing space.

In contrast, functions such as highlighting all important clips or automating the editing process do not accurately reflect the purpose of markers. While exporting projects is an essential process, it is unrelated to the marker function, which is primarily focused on in-timeline annotations for reference during the editing workflow.
