Save a useful moment once, then return to it while reviewing the rest of the clip.

Use a local video. For independent review, turn off Synchronized playback in Sync groups and tap Apply. If the flag is hidden, enable Show Checkpoints Button in Video Settings. Screenshots show the English interface on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator.

Tap the flag to save the current position. The arrow immediately to its right cycles through checkpoints. After the last checkpoint, it returns to the first.

Find the checkpoint control

Reveal the video controls and locate the flag. The first-use explanation describes saving a position, opening the list, and avoiding duplicate checkpoints within ten seconds.

Save the important moment

Pause at the moment you want and tap the flag. A count and timeline marker confirm the addition. This example saves the upper clip at about one second.

Move away from the saved moment

Continue viewing or use frame controls to inspect a later position. Leave the checkpoint in place so you can return without searching again.

iPhone 17 Pro — The upper video has moved to 00:03.008, after the saved marker.

Check the returned position

Tap the arrow to the right of the flag. In this example it returns to the one-second checkpoint. If the paused time label remains stale, toggle Frame Mode to refresh the readout; the final screenshot shows 00:01.

Nearby markers are deduplicated

The app avoids adding another checkpoint within ten seconds of an existing one. On a short clip, repeated taps may therefore leave the count unchanged.

Keep the three saving tools distinct

A checkpoint marks a video position. A synchronization point aligns clips. A workspace bookmark saves an arrangement for reopening later.

Frequently asked questions

Why did tapping the flag not add another marker?

Check how close you are to an existing checkpoint. Move more than ten seconds away in a sufficiently long video before adding a separate one.

Can I inspect the saved moment one frame at a time?

Yes. Jump to the checkpoint, pause the player, and enable its filmstrip control to step through nearby frames.
