Set Marker Duration by Dragging

You can now set the duration of a composition or layer marker by dragging the marker’s out point in the Timeline panel. Marker icons also now split in half to more clearly indicate the marker’s in point and out point.

To set a marker’s duration by dragging, hold the Option (macOS) or Alt (Windows) key, then click on the marker icon and drag to the right.

To change the duration of a marker, click and drag the marker out point icon; you do not need to hold Option/Alt. Dragging a marker out point all the way back to the marker in point will set the duration to zero and unify the marker in and out point icons again.

Note that dragging a marker in point will only change the marker’s time, and dragging a marker out point will only change the marker’s duration. You can not currently simultaneously change the marker time and duration.

On a time-reversed layers, the marker in and out points are also time-reversed. (Marker out points are on the left, marker in points are on the right.)

Date and Time Values in Output Name Templates

Name and location templates for output modules can now be customized with tokens for the date and time. A new default template, Comp Name And Date/Time, has also been added; it appends the date and time (in Y-M-D_H-M format) to the comp name.

Output name and locations can be customized with the following tokens:

[dateYear]

[dateMonth]

[dateDay]

[timeHour]

[timeMins]

[timeSecs]

[timeZone]

The date and time values are recorded into the output module at the time you press the Render or Queue In AME buttons. If you use the Duplicate with File Name command on a completed render item or output module, the recorded date and time will be copied, not the date and time tokens.
