Markers and custom buttons

The built-in markers

• Earmark is the big one: the soundbite. Tap it while someone is speaking and Earwig marks the whole spoken line, snapped to the sentence, so the select starts where the thought starts, not where your thumb landed.
• Cutaway flags visual moments: the hands, the detail shot, the reaction. These build their own strand in the edit.
• Great take marks the take you would print. Useful when you are doing several passes of the same action.
• Note is for everything else: continuity, a fix-it-in-post reminder, a thought for the edit.

Custom buttons

Your shoot is not everyone's shoot. From the marker screen you can add your own buttons and rename them to match how you work: Question, B-roll, Pickup, Laugh, whatever your edit needs to find later. Custom markers carry timecodes and transcript lines just like the built-in ones, and they come through to Earwig Sync and your NLE with matching colours.

Marking without the phone in your hand

While a session is recording, the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show a live Earwig activity with a Mark button. Tap it to log a moment without unlocking the phone. It counts your marks as you go, so you can see the log growing from across the room.

Where the marks end up

Every mark lives on the session in your projects, with its timecode and quote. In Earwig Sync they become your selects; in Resolve and Premiere they arrive as colour-coded timeline markers, and the earmarks become the cuts themselves.
