Use cue marks to mark frames of interest on a clip. You can then quickly go to the marked frames. Cue marks are for reference purposes only; they do not affect the clip and are not used in any editing operations.

You can add a mark to all tracks (cue mark) or to a single track or layer (segment mark) on the timeline. Segment marks move on the timeline as you trim, slip, or slide a clip whereas cue marks stay at the same position on the timeline.

You can also add cue marks and cue mark comments using the cueing controls in the Player, shown in the following example.

To insert marks:

1. Go to the frame where you want to insert the cue mark.
2. Add a mark by doing one of the following:
   • Enable Cue Mark in the Player to insert a cue mark on the clip.
   • Press Shift+Alt (right side of keyboard) to insert a cue mark on the entire timeline.
   • Press Shift+Ctrl (right side of keyboard) to insert a segment mark on the current track or layer.

   Cue marks set on the entire timeline appear on the timebar and on the timeline. Segment marks set on a track or layer appear only on the timeline.
