Creating Memory Locations

Memory Locations can be created in different ways, based on the type of Memory Location:

Marker Memory Location

Refers to a specific point in the timeline.

Selection Memory Location

Refers to an Edit Selection

General Properties Memory Location

Refers to a combination of session settings (such as zoom settings, pre- and post-roll times, Show/Hide status for tracks, Track Heights, and Edit and Mix Group enables).

When creating Memory Locations, the next available number is assigned to it (1–999). This number is used in recalling the Memory Location from the numeric keypad.

To create a Marker Memory Location:

1 Configure any session settings you will save with the Marker Memory Location, such as zoom settings, pre- and post-roll times, Show/Hide status for tracks, Track Heights, and Edit and Mix Group enables.

2 If necessary, enable Options > Link Timeline and Edit Selection.

3 Ensure that the Markers ruler is displayed (View > Rulers > Markers).

4 Do one of the following:

Click with the Selector tool in any track or ruler at the location where you want to place the Marker. To place a Marker at the beginning of a clip, select the clip with the Time Grabber tool. Click the Add Marker/Memory Location button (or press Enter on the numeric keypad).
