Hi Lloyd

for this project i just use the AutoHotKeys Premiere script Ed provided, it works for what i need... or rather what the freelancer we have hired to do the DVD authoring need, since he doesn't want to use Encore but really oldschool Spruce he needed the timecodes for chapter markers and I-frame placement for his mpeg2 encoder.
But, if you really don't know what to do for a few minutes (!) and would like to add this export feature in your AE script, just make the output tab spaced like the script Ed did
Heres an output of the Premiere script from Ed:

Sequence0001 00:00:09:17 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:01:39:03 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:03:34:12 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:04:53:14 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:05:26:10 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:06:02:24 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:06:37:12 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:07:04:18 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:07:33:04 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:08:15:20 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:08:50:20 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:09:24:05 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:09:59:19 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:10:38:11 "" ""

Another useful feature would be a choice of timecode or framenumber


Thanks for the helpful offer to modify your script, this list reallt is awsome :-)

Hey Robert,

If you tell me what format you need the text file I can update my Layer Marker Batch Editor script http://aescripts.com/layer-marker-batch-editor/ to have this functionality.  The main caveat is only layer markers are accessible via scripting so unfortunately comp markers won't be included in the export.  

Cheers,
-Lloyd

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)
