Is it possible to have more marker styles than the three default ones (standard, chapter and to do)?

Hi guys,

At the moment there are the default three marker styles of standard (purple), to do (red) and chapter (orange). I am just wondering if it is possible to download some more somehow maybe through a plug in or something? Ideally I would just like a few more colour options (I know you can get green if you tick a to-do item as completed) but would ideally like a few more. To clarify it is not so much colour options i am after, just a few more market styles to differentiate more sections of my timeline. Does anybody know if this is possible?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think there are more styles of markers, but I have a suggestion. Make more use of a wonderful FCP feature that is the Timeline Index.

Give distinctive names to your markers, maybe use emojis or other Unicode characters to create distinct types of markers.

Even they are the same purple color in the timeline, a distinctive name in the Timeline Index, which, furthermore, you can search for, could be a great help.

Here is an example of how this could be:

Is this question in regards to FCP-X?

Brilliant idea! Thank you so much! I do hope they introduce the ability to add more markers in the future though, but this is a very good idea for now. Thanks again.
