# Using Markers on the Timeline

Use cue marks or segment marks to mark frames of interest on a clip. You can then quickly go to the marked frames. These marks are for reference purposes only; they do not affect the clip and are not used in any editing operations. You can add a mark to all tracks (cue mark) or to a single track or version (segment mark) on the timeline. Segment marks move on the timeline as you trim, slip, or slide a clip whereas cue marks stay at the same position on the timeline.

You can also add In and Out marks on timeline clips, as you can in the player.

To add marks on the timeline:

1. Go to the frame where you want to insert the mark.
2. From the Timeline Task menu, in the Marks section, select an option to add an In, Out, Cue, or Segment mark.
3. If you added a cue or segment mark, you can change the name and colour of the mark to help you identify it more easily.

NoteThe Marks section of the Timeline Task menu offers other options for clearing or deleting marks. The Go To section of the Timeline Task menu offers navigation aids for existing marks.
