Re: missing default markers in Prelude...

Thanks for your feedback Michael and bfrancav.

Believe it or not, I had actually deleted those three default submarkers for the exact same reason that Adobe chose to do away with them: I never used them. But when I re-installed Prelude and saw that they were no longer there, I got scared thinking I had somehow damaged my copy of Prelude. That's a relief to know that this was Adobe's decision! Phew! Thank you Michael for putting our minds at rest about this.

I have one minor request to Adobe though when it comes to Prelude Markers. It would be really nice if the colored markers we set in Prelude kept their color in Premiere. For example, I like my "Comment markers" to be white as opposed to green. But unfortunately when I open the same annotated clips in Premiere, the markers all default to the dark green color. I then have to manually change each marker to white and that can be very time consuming.

So we need for Premiere to respect the color of the markers we set in Prelude and not keep defaulting them all to green.

Thank for your response, Michael. Actually I never used those features, myself. But as you know, we love squeezing as much juice out of this stuff as possible, and by virtue of that always fear we might be missing out on something.

Hi Guys -

Thanks for opening this thread. Looks like we didn't communicate this change very well with the 2014.1 release of Prelude CC. The marker types we removed were in response to the fact that they were not used - like maybe a couple people used them according to our tracking. We are always looking for ways to clear the "clutter" and make the app more useable.

If you have placed these marker types on clips previously, they will still appear associated with those clips. And when you load a clip with these marker types on it you will see in the Marker Type panel those marker buttons appear again for the duration of the project/clip you are viewing. So no metadata has been lost, but we did remove those marker types.

If there is popular demand for these marker types we'd love to hear it - as we can certainly add them again if needed.

Thanks -

Michael

I chatted with Adobe about this issue. They confirmed that the change had been made for Adobe in CC 2014.1 When "I asked why", he sent me a reference link to "this (our) conversation". So based on our assumption here, I guess that IS the answer. Weird.

Oh wow! You are right. I suppose it is possible that they could of phased the out. However, when I saw them reappear for that one instance it would seem it's more so a conflict than a complete abandonment of web links and chapter markers.

Oh well. I too thought I was on a lonely planet!

Hi bfrancav,

I thought it was just me who was having that problem. So that means it's not something on just my end. Perhaps a bug?

Interestingly though I'm just wondering whether the latest version of Prelude (CC 2014.1) might not have done away with some of the default markers. Here's why:

Check out the official Prelude page from Adobe and look closely at the markers window in the product shot. Notice anything different?

https://creative.adobe.com/products/prelude

It shows only three default markers: subclip, comment, and speech transcription. The other three appear to have been removed from the program.

I am having the same issue. Strangely, I uninstalled/reinstalled the app - where magically all markers in the FULL LIST appeared but. Unfortunately, I kept getting an prompt that my project (from yesterday) could not be read by this version. So sure enough, I returned to the download page where it asked, "if I wanted to update"? I did - and the markers disappeared and reverted back to these three you show here. I am wondering if it might be a conflict with OSX 10.10? Are you on a Mac or PC? Will be reaching out tomorrow to Adobe for support.

Not sure why, but among my default markers I only have three types appearing in Prelude:

Does anyone know how to restore the default set of markers so that I can recover the others: Flash Cue Point, Web Link, Chapter are all missing from the defaults.
