A better way to mark the timeline?

Hey all -

Frequent visitor, infrequent poster here...

I'm looking for a better way to use markers to keep track of where I am in a sequence. I edit a lot of training videos (yawn, but hey it helps pay the bills). I get these tapes from the shooters who taped a 45-60 minute conference on X Subject. Some are one camera shoots, others are multiple cameras that I edit using multicam. I then lay graphics over the top. While I'm doing this, I like to use markers to keep track of the different sections I'm on so that after I'm finished editing, I can go back and add transition graphics/bumpers to break up the monotony of a one camera shoot.

I've been placing markers in the timeline. However, this only works if I don't change anything before the marker, because the marker won't move with any changes I make to the video. I can't use clip markers because there isn't a clip that spans the entire length of the video. It's only in that one clip. On top of that, those markers won't retain the "DVD CHapter" info if I export the file from FCP as a full Quicktime, and I need it to keep that information.

I hope that makes sense. Essentially, I don't like the way the timeline markers work because they don't move as my timeline changes, but I can't use clip markers because they don't retain chapter info for DVDSP, and there isn't a clip the length of the whole timeline.

Any ideas on a better way to keep track of what I'm doing??? It's really frustrating!
