Adding Markers
Adding markers to a clip allows you to have visual clues as to when a specific event is going to occur. This is important because when a clip is added to the Timeline, only the start frame and end frame (the heads and tails) are displayed. The rest of the clip is one long piece of blue. The Film Strip mode found in Adobe Premiere is unfortunately not an option in Liquid Edition.Chapter 12 for more on this.
