Set Hotkeys for Bookmarks?

Postby fu3l » 20 May 2009 19:56

I love the new bookmarking feature in the latest release. but i find it lacking for my needs. Is there anyway create a bookmark and then link it to a hotkey? (I.e. i create a bookmark titled 'car scene' and set the bookmark hotkey to 'c'. anytime i click on 'c' hotkey during the movie it bookmarks the car scene and saves the bookmark. I know of a ton of pay products that have this feature but no free ones! this feature is useful for teachers, hobbyists and coaches of all sorts. can anyone help me do this? i would pay for someone to help me develop this feature...Thanks!

yes, i have tried them.... but i have one movie, not an entire playlist of items...it will not let me mark different spots in one movie to return to. Also, when i try to change the hotkey for example "Set playlist bookmark 4" from Ctrl+F4 to 'f' lets say, it allows me to, but then it does nothing when i try to click the hotkey to bookmark a spot. (the same as when i try to use Ctrl+F4 in the first place)... i really need to set hotkeys as bookmarks that one hotkey can be pressed for multiple bookmarks. Ex...press "T" one minute into the movie, 10 minutes into the movie, and then 30 minutes into the movie and it saves 3 bookmarks under the "T" hotkey. (i wrote you with some pictures in the past but never heard back... here are the pics on another portion of the forum (links to pics below) ... any thoughts on the ability to do just this (as described above)?

Any direction is MUCH appreciated...

Thanks JB!!
