Hi Hans, Unfortunately, you may not become very rich from this discovery, unless you use it to compose a hit movie theme! :-) There is a new function for creating markers by detecting cuts in the currently open movie. Enable Global Tracks (Arrange window, <View> menu) Go to <Global Track Components> in the same menu and make sure that Marker and Video and checked. Open a movie and then click on the <Detect Cuts> button. If there are lots of cuts in the movie, a marker will be created for every cut. In the marker list, these all have the "movie" symbol next to them. They are all locked to SMPTE and will stay aligned to the movie if you change tempo. You'll see that the markers move if you change tempo The video thumbnail track may not always update immediately, so it may seem as if this is not working. Just collapse the video track, then re-open it and the thumbnail track will re-align. Hope this helps Regards - Colin
