Where Media Markers Are Saved
Media Markers are stored in the Media Object or Master Clip in the Media Manager, Libraries and in Projects refer-
encing the Media. When saving a Project with two different versions (with Project > Save As for example), the
Media Markers within both versions can evolve differently as they are saved in the Projects and/or in different
Libraries, but: Media Markers can be saved along with the physical Media File by using the menu item Markers >
Update Media Markers to Files . A file with the same name as the physical Media File with an .mmd extension is
saved in the same location as the Media Files which contains all the Markers for this Media.
When adding Markers to a Media being recorded the .mmd file is automatically saved automatically when the
recording is stopped.
When mounting a Media file with no reference to any Projects or Libraries, its associated Markers are only available
in its associated .mmd file.
Clips in a Project or Master Clips in a Library carry a copy of the Markers and can be edited separately. The original
version of the Markers created during recording can be retrieved from the .mmd file. This .mmd file can be
updated after modification of the Markers with the menu Markers > Update Media Markers to Files , as
explained above.
