Iona, I don't know of the differences between lite and amadeus pro, but I think I remember that the pro only has a batch converter and some other nifty things as a plus. You can drop a marker with amadeus in 2 ways, either at the playhead by hitting p during playback, or by pausing, then moving the insertion point to the playhead with command y, and then hitting m in pause to set the marker. Hth, Paul. P.s.: amadeus pro is in the app store if you want it. On Feb 7, 2012, at 8:38 PM, Ioana Gandrabur wrote:
