Now you try: Download the sample project files to practice adding markers.

Add a Marker

Add markers during a .camrec recording in Camtasia Recorder or while editing in Camtasia Studio. Insert markers to:

• Create recording notes. For example, mark a pause in the recording to cut out during editing.
• Set points to split a long video into multiple videos. See Customize a Video Based on Markers.
• Create navigation points. If you include a table of contents in the final video, the markers appear as table of contents entries.

Add Markers while Recording

To add a marker while recording, press <CTRL + M> or click the Add Marker button on the Recording toolbar.

To view markers added during recording, import the .camrec file into Camtasia Studio. The markers appear on the Timeline.
