Using layer-time markers (6.5)

You can use layer-time markers to mark important points in a specific layer, to display comments in the Timeline window, and to link to a movie chapter or Web page. (See "Creating layer-time markers" on page 127.) After Effects 6.5 lets you set the marker's position in time and retains layer-time markers when you render output to the AVI or QuickTime format.

Adobe Encore DVD can read chapter references in After Effects layer-time markers when you export to the AVI file format. To be compatible with DVDs, make sure that markers are at least 15 frames apart. (For information on creating chapter references, see "Creating chapter links" on page 128.)

To move a layer-time marker in time:

Do one of the following in the Timeline window:

• Drag the layer-time marker to the desired time.
• Double-click the layer-time marker, and enter the desired time in the Marker dialog box.
