Work with composition-time markers

Composition-time markers appear on the time ruler in the Timeline panel. If you remove a marker, the other markers remain numbered as they were. If you change the comment from the default number, that number may be reused by a composition-time marker created later.
Note: Numbering of composition-time markers begins at 0. In After Effects 7.0 and earlier, numbering started at 1.

When you render a composition for comments using Adobe Clip Notes, the comments in composition-time markers are included as comments in the Clip Notes PDF. When you import the comments from a Clip Notes review back into After Effects, the reviewers’ PDF comments are converted back to composition-time markers.

  • To add a composition-time marker from the bin, drag the marker from the Comp Marker Bin  button.

  • To add a composition-time marker at the current time, press Shift + a number key (0 to 9) on the main keyboard.
    Note: If the number you press is already used by another composition-time marker, After Effects does not create a new marker. Instead, it moves the existing marker with that number to the new position.
  • To move a composition-time marker, drag it to a different time or double-click it and enter a time in the dialog box.
  • To edit a marker’s data, double-click the marker.
  • To remove a composition-time marker, drag the marker to the Comp Marker Bin button or Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the marker.
