How to reposition timeline marker

I'm trying to reposition some of my timeline markers that I created to help me remind me where to put some title graphics. I started moving clips around and the markers are now not where I want them. I have tried the short cut in the marker menu which says to use the shift and ' key but still can't move them. Does any one know another way to reposition timeline markers?

Thanks,

Press m while the playhead is over the marker. You can either key in the new timecode for where the marker's supposed to be, or use +/- a certain number of frames/seconds to move the marker.

Control of markers is still not an FCP strong suit. However, SHIFT-` should work. Remember that this command works for the marker immediately before it -- ie. it can only be used to move markers ahead in the timeline, not backwards. It's much easier to just put new markers and redo that rather than muck with your old ones, especially if your edit has changed considerably.

If you've only inserted one new portion into the timeline, you can use an old version of your project file, call up the old sequence, then paste it into your new sequence, figure out the offset and put new markers by using the old sequence as a measuring stick.

And cut, copy and paste...

And Copy/Paste Attributes...

Or, make timeline markers (eg. DVD Chapter Markers) "stick" to a certain clip if so desired.

Thanks guys,

I messed with repo method using Shift-` - Pretty useless since I needed to move the markers backward. Also tried +/- timecode but found it quicker just to copy the info from the old marker, delete the old marker and paste the info into the new marker.

Hopefully, subsequent versions of FCP will improve upon this. It would be nice to be able to click and drag.

Just put the markers to the clip and use my free readXML to make chapter markers out of it.
