Marker Menu

Dopesheet Editor - Marker Menu

Markers are visual landmarks. They can mark a start of a specific animation sequence, the end of a camera movement, and so on.

When you add one then a marker area appears at the bottom of the timeline.

Markers can be pulled around by clicking at them and dragging them left or right. The active marker is yellow.

By holding down shift you can select more than one marker.

Duplicates the selected marker(s). The duplicate(s) sticks at the mouse until you click to give it the target destination.

Bind Camera to Markers

Bind camera to markers turns an object into a camera object. This can be any object in the scene. Not just camera objects.

When the current frame position does not have a marker yet, then it creates a marker at the current frame position.

By binding different objects or cameras at different marker locations you can switch cameras automatically.

The marker with a bind camera attached will show a camera icon.
