It's all in the title :)

Is there a way to move markers on a clip ? I have made an adjustment layer on a clip with many markers (to send to SugarFX subtitles) and now would like to make adjustments

Thank you !

You can right click on a marker, cut, and then paste "command - v" markers where you need them.

that seems to be the only way I know. it's odd you can't just grab it and move it, or select and "command c" the marker.

You nudge a marker with ctrl+comma-period.

Hey thank you guys ! Yes it would make sense to be able to just move them around...

You can move a marker roughly by just click on it and move it.

Like I described, make sure you keep your movement pretty much close to a horizontal move otherwise the marker will be deleted.
Markers work like tabs in text editors.
Snapping is more or less disabled though.

I can't get markers to move the way you describe, whether skimming or snapping is on or off. Am I missing something? What is the exact procedure?

Hi!
There is something fishy going on here with this option...

First: What Andreas Kiel is saying does not work for me :(
Second: If I click on the marker and press the keyboard shortcut I have assigned to nudge markers, it does not work. BUT! I created a keyboard shortcut to go to previous/next marker, so if I click "in the zone" of the marker, hit the go to next marker shortcut, and then the nudge marker shortcut, works at once. Weird, but works.

I can't replicate that. Click and drag does nothing for me (actual OS, actual FCPX).

Likewise I cannot reproduce this. I see it in his video but whether I have skimming, snapping, or clip skimming on or off, I can't click and drag markers -- at least not in FCP 10.2.3 running on OS X 10.11.6.

It is also not a documented method of moving markers on Apple's web page:

support.apple.com/kb/PH12562?locale=en_US

However the click-to-drag behavior seems logical and intuitive. I wonder why it works sometimes and not others?

I knew I read/saw that before!

One feature implemented but not enabled in version 10.1 and 10.1.1 is the ability to move markers along a clip. It is possible to modify an installed copy of Final Cut to turn this feature on.

:ohmy: Wow, I watched the video Andreas posted and it totally blew my mind. Never seen that before (and like others, haven't been able to replicate it.)

alex4d's trick works! I also wanted to move markers since 2011 and now it's possible. Seems to be stable, no issues so far. The markers even vanish in a little cloud like icons removed from the dock, when moved and released above the timeline. Nice.
