Let's work with my kids a bit less understand how to get markers First of all on the timeline.
The first thing you want to know is there are markers for the compositions that is the markers that
you're putting on the work area that are called composition markers and there are markers that you can
put on a certain layer that will appear just here.
Let's see how to do that.
So we agreed we have composition markers and layer markers.
Each one of them will have a certain use depending on what you want of course to achieve and what kind
of information you want to capture or add to your layers or do your composition.
First of all let's get the matter inside the work area here.
Or a composition market place to detect everything.
Your first option is this.
A little button here that looks like a shield.
This is the button where you can click and drag and you will have created a marker on the work area
to compose the Shoemark.
Not this is the first marker so it has the number one here and I'll show you how to edit this one.
If you click again and you drag you will have another marker that has the number two here and so on.
You can get as many markers as you want if you want to remove a marker just like it outside is gone.
And you know the 5 is going to appear here or if you want to delete the marker all you have to do is
just press control and there is the scissors that will appear here and you will be clicking and deleting
the marker.
They say here.
Number two a press control.
I delete it.
I can create a new market now if I bring it in.
Not this smarter one.
That is coming back.
So now Mark 2 is coming in.
So after effects is very stubborn it wanted to start one two three four five.
It won't let you start three four five six unless you read the first two months.
Another thing you look about Mark as you can right click on a marker and you have something go to market
time.
Delete this marker delete all the marker and lock this month.
Let's go.
Go to go to market time.
So now where is my time line indicator.
It's the beginning here.
If I click go to market time because I right click on this smarter then the time line indicator will
come over here.
Now this is wonderful because if you are like this OK and it's over here and you want your timeline
indicator to come over here all you have to do is to right click and say go to market time.
And here you are.
Now this is the way to navigate.
Also you can use shift and it just snap on the markers as usual shift will snap you know on everything.
Then you can right click on the market and say Of course they did this market bring another one here.
I like them one two three four.
Then also I have it all Malkin's.
I'm not going to do.
But the nicest thing here is settings that click on setting I can either right click and click on something
or double click on the marker and the settings will open.
So in this setting I have the time it means.
Where is this marker.
And I have the duration of the marker.
So a marker doesn't have to be on a single frame.
It can be on several frames.
It means that you can say time is start at 1 that's 1 second and extends for two frames then you can
come and say I want to change the comments here is it.
This is Markle three and three text here for example.
OK.
And you have your Shapter and web links.
I'm not going to go through that now.
It's pretty easy.
Yes and if you want to click OK.
You're not just now I have a label for the marker and the market now that is a very small line.
I tried to zoom in that is only two frames long but I can click again and change the text of course
you know text here.
Delete this one.
Change the timing here.
I will put it back to zero and say OK.
So when I got put at time here the duration it's only a single frame for the duration.
Then it will be many frames like you can see here.
There is this tiny line under the text here.
Double click and remove it back to zero I just want to show you several times then I can move and press
shift.
And so if you select a layer here you can drag this one and it doesn't come on the layer it still comes
you know on the composition markers or the work area but by the market here you have the choice of pressing
the start button or the multiplication button in the numeric but not in the above the 8 in the normal
part.
And if you don't have any mark but then you are in trouble.
That's how after effect that at least as much as I know if you're pressed Are you not that your market
comes here and you can move and press start again.
You can choose another player and put in market here using stock.
Now there is go way I will delete all markers.
So that's a good example deleting all the markers now not this will happen.
When I clicked on the market in the composition markers in the work area I deleted all the markers in
the work work area I can come over here and say delete all markers it will delete the markers only on
this layer all the markers underlayer.
And this one I can say ok delete this market is fine.
There is another way to put markers is to press shift 1 and you put on the composition or the work area.
The second was remarket market number one.
If you move on and press shift 2 you will put a marker number to move on you can move backwards so press
shift 3 and you put marker 3.
So this is another way to put composition markers.
I do not know of any other way to put alays markers except the star and that's all I use.
I make sure I have a numeric keypad that you know is connected to my computer so I can use this Istar
is very important that the star works.
And also when you play games it's very good to have the numerical But you know by the way.
OK so now add the civil matters here.
So also what you can do is come to a market here.
For example let's delete all other markers or delete all markers put in marker and decide double doubleclick
on it and you don't want this market at 18 frames what you wanted is 50 frames for example.
Press enter and here you are your timeline indicator did not move slowly to get very confused and 50
frames is 2 seconds.
So when you change the market time be careful your time line indicator will not jump to this marker
time.
OK.
It's just a marker that moved.
I hope this was cleared for you then I can of course click on the marker and say OK.
Marker 1.
No.
I mean Les or Mark or something like this.
OK we got it now.
This is how to manipulate markers.
And this is how to delete all the markers and work with them is pretty easy is pretty simple.
But I would like you to start using it because how do you use it.
You mark for example is very useful when you're doing kinetic that biography you mark where the players
want to start your keyframes want to start or some kind of action that is starting.
And then use that markedly jump to this market to put the keyframe to trim the player or to start a
certain effect if you like.
But what is most important is first of all you can leave documentation for other people after the last
one or in just the people who are taking care of your project for example.
So I tell you I put this markers a lot in my big projects.
The important one of course.
Why.
Because now I remember everything for the next one week I will remember this project but after two months
if I am told to change that project or to add to this project I really cannot remember what this keyframe
for and why I put it there.
And the tendency is to press the delete button and start over again.
But this business was after effect.
Doing that will mean a lot of loss of time.
Which means also lots of loss of money.
So please try to start using the markets put some you know get the habit in the next lecture We're being
in the industry.
Look at Sarum and Marcuse certain words within the song.
I see them.
