Step 5: Setting Composition Markers

Chapter 5 - Creating Composition Markers

Markers

For supers, only one marker is actually use to set the preview time, allowing the user to pause the animation at a specific time of the animation to modify things. Set this marker to preview when all the elements are visible.

1. Define Composition Markers:
   • prw_time — Preview button pause timestamp.
2. Marker Formatting: Use simple names in the comment field (e.g., prw_time) and ensure all time values are whole frame numbers, and not set as something like 1.5.
   1. If you adjust your composition frame rate after setting your markers, this can cause the markers to sit in between two frames instead of on a whole frame. Make sure to adjust the marker manually in the composition to snap to the whole frame number.
