Make Your Mark (and Comment)

Layer Markers can come in handy when leaving notes to yourself within a composition. You can save time by adding the marker and calling up its dialog box with one key combination.

1. To add a Layer Marker with dialog, press Option+* (the multiply symbol) on the numeric keypad.

2. You can now add a comment, chapter marker, or Web link to your composition.

3. Click OK when finished.

Under AE 6.5 you can now add layer markers while previewing in the Layer Window!

• This is an advantage as there are no previews to cache.

• Markers will also carry to multiple compositions when you add the footage item.
