Play Markers group - Start and End

First, you need to make the Start, End and Fade Markers group visable by clicking its section header bar.

Overview

These markers allow you to set the position at which play will Start and End without having to edit the physical file. You enable these markers by setting the Enablet checkmark (Figure 2.). The Start At () and End At () markers appear visually along the placement time-line ruler. When a marker is disabled, the shape will be outlined with no color fill. You never actually delete these markers. They are just turned on and off with the enable checkmark.

Also see, Enable Start and End Markers in the Behavior menu that allows you to turn Start and End markers on and off globally without having to edit each Sound Item to enable / disable individual checkmarks.

Setting a Marker

The mechanics of setting Start At and End At markers are the same.


1. Set the start postion  - Move the Play Position trackbar slider (Figure 1.) to a desired position. Now click the Set Position () button (Figure 2.). The marker position is set to the value of the trackbar slider. You can also type the position value into the Position texbox. The value in the textbox is in milliseconds (thousandths of a second) which provides for finer tuning than the trackbar.
2. Enable the marker  - Click the Enable checkbox (directly to the left of the marker color icon).
