Working with Hit Points and Scene Markers

In the previous chapter, we learned how to align and sync a movie with Logic Pro. The next task is to create markers that will represent specific events on the movie timeline.

In this chapter, we will cover visual events, also known as hit points, in a movie, including how to identify them correctly, put them together in lists, as well as how to represent them as SMPTE-locked markers.

Since we’re dealing with tempo and time signature changes, working properly with markers in Logic Pro will make the task of scoring to the picture much smoother and more efficient without compromises.

So, in this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Defining hit points
• Reviewing music spotting notes
• Copying the spotting notes list into Logic Pro
• Creating markers without rounding
• Naming and renaming markers
• Changing markers to the SMPTE view position
• Creating scene markers
• Comparing standard, SMPTE-locked...
