• If paused – Open a Scalar window for the marker. Press the
associated key and drag the mouse pointer in the Scalar window
to set the value for the new occurrence.
• If playing – Open a Scalar window for the marker. Press the
associated key to pause the animation. Drag the mouse pointer in
the Scalar window to set the value for the new occurrence.
• For Coordinate (C) markers - Press the associated key and move the
mouse pointer in the Video window and click to enter the coordinate values.
If it was playing before pressing the key, after clicking, CinePlex Editor
enters the new marker occurrence, and resumes animation.

Note:
Although the user typically insert Level Interval (L) and Zone Interval (Z)
markers automatically by using the Levels Editor and Zones Editor dialog

For Scalar and Coordinate markers, to use the keystroke or button method

marker button.
CinePlex Editor inserts the occurrence at the current time.
Note:
With button insertion, each marker type behaves exactly the same as
described in the preceding section for keystrokes.
Left-Click Insertion
The Left-Click insertion method is fundamentally different from the other insertion
methods. Use the Left-Click method only to insert occurrences for the currently
selected marker.
Understanding Click-To-Add Mode
Click-To-Add mode is a semi-automatic subset of the Left-Click insertion
method. In Click-To-Add mode, each time a marker is chosen and the left mouse
button is clicked, CinePlex Editor inserts an occurrence of the marker and auto-
