Why these guides exist

Built around repeated post-production questions

Editors repeatedly search for ways to turn transcript keywords into markers, save instant timeline locations, import timecoded notes and spreadsheets, export marker reports and chapters, convert or copy markers, recover note placement after picture changes, and track completion. These pages separate those intents into specific workflows.
