Jumping to pause markers

This function requires the Advanced License or up. See Versions and Functions.

Any pause markers contained in a presentation to pause playback may be used as jump destination. This may turn out to be useful if you want to jump back to an image you have shown before. This is done via Trigger actions to execute the jump function.

Start by creating the corresponding pause marker. To do so, right-click a marker track and select Insert pause marker. If no marker track is available yet, add one by right-clicking a track head, selecting Insert track Marker.

Alternatively, you can simultaneously place pause markers in front of several objects. See Adding pause markers for highlighted objects.

Now create the two triggers for the jump function. In the Media Pool click category Trigger, click some free space in the right Media Pool section and select Add trigger.
At the top of the dialog box enter Forward as Name.
Now select category Timeline and Action To next pause marker.
At the bottom, next to F key enter the function key to trigger the jump forward, e.g. 4 and click OK.
The same way create another trigger with the following properties:
Category = Timeline
Action = To previous pause marker
F key = 3

After starting the presentation via the F5 key, you can use keys F3 and F4 to jump forward or back. After a jump playback is paused.
There are some more ways of executing triggers, e.g. via Control Panel fields or via remote control units. See Executing a trigger.

In Editing Mode it is now possible to jump to any markers in the timeline by holding Shift + Ctrl and hitting the curser keys or . By highlighting marker tracks the number of markers selectable as targets can be limited.
