If you want to use colored pencil over marker for more vibrancy, apply the marker to the backside of the film, then turn over and apply the pencil. Because drafting film is semi transparent, you can easily work both sides to achieve more depth of color. I have not used this particular brand, but a good quality film should accept 6 to 8 layers of colored pencil. It does require planning and choosing your colors carefully.
I don't think i've ever been that invested in seeing a marker just... not smudge lol very well put together video! full disclosure, i have no experience with drafting anything - ever, but i would assume the translucence, lack of tooth, and erasable-ness are the main points of using this film. you can backlight the work effectively for clarity and mistakes are neatly hidden to produce a clean final product, which seems important relative to what i do know of drafting? seems like the ability to cleanly trace existing work is a huge plus, but the color depth definitely suffers (as you pointed out). maybe it's good for examples with less intense palettes like matte colors? either way i enjoyed the experiment!

Thank you for the tips! I can definitely see them working well...I've recently learnt that Grafix drafting film is the more popular drafting film!

Thank you! I might try using it for a graphite drawing! Glad you liked the video!
