Robert,

 

Given your query for a script which does both layer and comp markers, I should have mentioned that my script only does sequence markers, not clip markers.

 

I never had a need to export the data for clip markers so I have never explored whether clip markers might present any special issues.  Hopefully, it would just be a matter of tweaking the keystrokes sent to Premiere (e.g.,  Ctrl+Shift+RightArrow instead of Ctrl+RightArrow).   If the keystroke differences are the only issue, there are two alternatives: (1) make a separate version of script just for clip markers (this is probably the easiest) or (2) modify the script to iterate through each sequence twice (once looking for sequence markers and once looking for clip markers).  Regardless of which alternative is chosen, the output is broken into sequence markers and clip markers, rather than being in time sequence regardless of the type of marker.

If you have Premiere on a Windows PC, you could try the AutoHotKey script which I wrote: http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/3/919345

 

There are at least a few people using it.

 

If you are running a non-English version of Premiere, the script may need a minor tweak (because it looks for the word “Marker”).  The script already contains an example of the change required for the French version of Premiere, so you may be able to make the tweak yourself.  But I should be able to make the change easily if you send me a screen print of a Premiere Marker dialog box.

Hi

 

Is there some script that exports layers/comp markers to a simple textfile with timecode? Either directly from AE or via Premiere?

 

i have search a little and i can't find anything that does it as a simple plain textfile. The closest i have found is an old premiere plugin that doesn't seem to work with CS5.5 (http://www.2writers.com/Eddie/PpExpMark.htm)
