live event timeline markers
Typed markers that turn timelines into stories
Typed markers give artists, teams, venues, and brands first-class timeline cues on Relive crowd footage — goals, song changes, drops, sponsors, interviews, highlights, and custom labels. Seed with Auto-generate from Shazam song changes, density peaks, moments, and scores, then refine by hand so clipping and reels start from meaning instead of blind scrub. Markers live in Pro Tools workspaces; they are stakeholder storytelling infrastructure, not consumer stickers.
Who it's for
Editors, analysts, and producers who need shared language on long multi-phone timelines — music desks labeling songs and drops, sports desks marking goals and scores, brand teams pinning sponsor reads. If you search for live event timeline markers that feed clipping and reels inside Relive Pro Tools, this is the board.
Why teams need this
Hours of scrub for one cue
Without typed cues, every editor rediscovers the same drop, goal, or sponsor read from scratch on multi-hour Islands.
Inconsistent labels across the team
Slack timestamps and spreadsheet notes drift. Shared marker kinds keep music, sports, and brand language aligned in one system.
Auto tools that never get refined
Machine seeds without human cleanup create noise. Relive expects Auto-generate plus manual refine — not set-and-forget fiction.
What Relive delivers
Structured timelines
Filter by GOAL, SONG, DROP, SPONSOR, and more so packages start from labeled moments instead of random thumbs.
Faster seed, cleaner refine
Auto-generate from Shazam, density, moments, and scores; then fix labels where the show diverged from the model.
Markers that feed exports
Attach markers in the clip editor and use tagged dimensions when aggregating — cues become stakeholder-ready assets.
Dig deeper into live event timeline markers
Untyped scrub wastes the advantage of Relive’s synchronized crowd corpus. Typed markers — GOAL, SCORE, SONG, SET_CHANGE, DROP, SPONSOR, INTERVIEW, HIGHLIGHT, INTRO, OUTRO, CUSTOM — make the timeline searchable and packageable. Auto-generate seeds from Shazam song changes, density peaks, existing Island moments, and imported sports scores; re-runs skip duplicates so you can refresh after late uploads settle.
Markers are not a substitute for Track Lookup when audio is unreleased. Shazam-derived song markers help when catalog recognition fires; private reference fingerprinting covers embargoed masters. Use both: markers for human-readable structure, Track Lookup when the reference file is the source of truth.
Once markers exist, Library dimensions and clip attach flows inherit them. Attach a marker while precision clipping, filter marker kinds before packaging, and keep sponsor proof next to the read — so stakeholder storytelling stays consistent across editors in the workspace.
How it works
From input to shipped asset
Step 1
Open Markers on a scoped Island
After uploads settle, open the Markers board for an event inside your Pro Tools workspace.
Step 2
Run Auto-generate
Seed from Shazam song changes, density peaks, Island moments, and imported scores. Safe to re-run; duplicates are skipped.
Step 3
Refine kinds and labels
Fix misses, add manual cues for sponsor reads or interviews, and filter by kind to focus the pass.
Step 4
Clip from markers
Jump to cues, set in/out with precision clipping, optionally attach the marker, and send clips into reels.
In the field
Scenarios where this feature wins
Setlist night
Music editor Auto-generates SONG markers, renames the encore, and packages three angles per cue for social.
Home stand goals
Sports desk filters GOAL markers across the weekend and builds a fan-angle scoring reel before Monday meetings.
Sponsor proof
Brand producer adds SPONSOR markers at each read, clips 9:16 proof, and exports a folder for the partner deck.
After late uploads
Density peaks shift overnight as phones land. Re-run Auto-generate, skip duplicates, and catch the new highlight windows.
Built-in capabilities
First-class marker kinds
GOAL, SCORE, SONG, SET_CHANGE, DROP, SPONSOR, INTERVIEW, HIGHLIGHT, INTRO, OUTRO, and CUSTOM for stakeholder language.
Auto-generate seeds
Shazam song changes, density peaks, Island moments, and imported sports scores — re-run friendly with duplicate skip.
Manual refine
Add or edit cues when the model misses a custom sting, interview, or set change.
Clip attach
Bind markers to precision clips so packages carry meaning into the reel builder and exports.
Compared to the usual options
Versus sticky notes in NLE timelines
Local NLE markers do not travel with Relive’s multi-phone corpus or workspace roles. Typed markers live where the crowd footage already is.
Versus chat timestamps
“Around 10:42” in Slack is not filterable, attachable, or shared with VIEWER stakeholders who only download exports.
Versus Track Lookup alone
Track Lookup finds audio by private reference. Typed markers organize human storytelling — use both when unreleased audio and labeled cues both matter.

Frequently asked questions
What marker kinds does Relive Pro Tools support?
- GOAL, SCORE, SONG, SET_CHANGE, DROP, SPONSOR, INTERVIEW, HIGHLIGHT, INTRO, OUTRO, and CUSTOM — chosen to match music, sports, and brand storytelling.
What does Auto-generate use?
- Shazam song changes, density peaks, existing Island moments, and imported sports scores. Re-running skips duplicates.
Will Auto-generate find unreleased songs?
- Shazam-derived song markers need catalog recognition. For unreleased masters, use Track Lookup with a private reference, then add or refine markers by hand as needed.
Can multiple editors work markers?
- Yes, inside a workspace with appropriate roles (e.g. EDITOR). Workspace collaboration controls who can create and refine cues.
Do markers appear for consumer app users?
- Typed markers are a Pro Tools stakeholder workflow for labeling and packaging crowd timelines — not a consumer sticker feature.
How do markers help clipping?
- Jump to labeled cues, set in/out faster, and optionally attach the marker so reels and exports keep the story context.

Precision clipping
Precision clipping turns Relive crowd source video into stakeholder-ready subclips. Set in and out with keyboard shortcuts, choose aspect presets for Stories, feeds, or landscape, mute when needed, and attach typed markers so packages keep meaning. Editors work inside Pro Tools — trim, reframe, watermark, and fade — then save into reels or the render queue without rebuilding the night in a separate NLE for every vertical cut.
Learn moreCross-event aggregation
Cross-event aggregation gives artists, teams, venues, and brands one Library over many Relive Islands. Roll up published crowd footage by song, artist, team, venue, contributor, day, or custom tag so tour and season content ops stop living in per-show folders. Scope rules resolve which events appear; you drill a bucket, multi-select standouts, and move into clipping or reels without rebuilding filters for every city.
Learn moreTrack Lookup
Find song in fan videos without waiting for Shazam catalog coverage. Relive Track Lookup lets artists, labels, and brands upload a private reference file — WAV, MP3, or FLAC, including unreleased masters — then fingerprints that audio against a scoped Relive fan and crowd video corpus. Matches return with confidence and time offset so you can clip, Package, and Export hits without leaving Track Lookup mode. It is Pro Tools workflow for private reference track matching, not a free public URL-paste Shazam clone and not an open-web or Instagram Stories crawler.
Learn moreReel builder
Reel builder assembles ordered highlight packages from Relive Pro clips — Library multi-selects, clip bin saves, and Track Lookup packages — then lets you reorder for narrative before render. Artists, teams, venues, and brands ship stakeholder-ready stories without rebuilding sequences in a disconnected editor. Tag show recaps when tour intelligence should attribute packages to stops; download finished assets from the export queue.
