Hey Robert,

You can export it as a comma delimited or tab delimited file and it shou= ld open correctly in your spreadsheet program. Let me know if you need to t= o elaborate on this.

for t= his project i just use the AutoHotKeys Premiere script Ed provided, it work= s 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 olds= chool Spruce he needed the timecodes for chapter markers and I-frame placem= ent 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 out= put tab spaced like the script Ed did
Heres an output of the Prem= iere script from Ed:

Sequence0001 = 00:00:09:17 ""= ""

Another useful feature would be a choice of timec= ode or framenumber


Thanks for the h= elpful 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. =A0The main = caveat is only layer markers are accessible via scripting so=A0unfortunatel= y=A0comp markers won't be included in the export. =A0
