Renumbering Markers

Is there a way in Vegas to renumber markers after I've set them.

I had a bunch of markers (1-19) on a project when I realized that I wanted to add a marker near the beginning of the project. Vegas added the marker where I wanted it, but called it (20). In order to get them into numerical order, I had to take the time to shuffle and rename them all. Is there a way to renumber markers?

No, but is there any reason you need them in order?

Actually, it is extremely easy to do, but as Kelly points out, there is absolutely no reason to do it, other than making you feel better about having the numbers increase along the timeline, left to right.

Here's the trick:

1. Open the Edit Details view (Alt-6, or go to the View menu).

2. Select "Show: Markers".

3. Click on the blank space that is at the intersection of the row and column headings (in the upper left corner of the Edit Details window, just under the word "Show:". This will select everything

4. Press Ctrl-X to Cut everything. Immediately press Ctrl-V to paste everything back.

That's all there is to it. Your markers should now be in order. You have accomplished absolutely nothing, but perhaps you will be able to sleep better at night ... ;)

I think it is handy to know as I need to scale up and down the time line. I use the markers to get there fast and when they go out of order I get lost on the time time line.

Thanks

Thanks. I know it's not a big deal, but I guess I'm anal about this sort of thing.

I gotta use that. I don't know when, but I'm storing it in the vault anyhow.

Glad I found this,

I'm anal about left to right markers being numbered correctly also. Especially when using the keyboard to quickly go to a marker. Hit the 5 and you are at marker 5!
