Hi Lloyd

I t= hink i have found a bug in your script :-(
The scripts add extra = markers at the same time as existing markers, it starts ok, but add doublem= arkers more and more often the higher it gets in markercount. It then expor= ts some of these double markers as same timecode but other 1 frame shifted = even though they are at the same time in AE.
See the link below for a small AE project and the resulting txt file y= our script exports. i used this command to export: "[markernumber]\t[t= ime]\n"=A0

I=A0didn't even know that you could have seve= ral markes at the same timeframe in AE, it doesn't seem that AE allow i= t using the UI, but i guess it is possible via scripting :-)

I see, if you use commas to separate each element and a newline at the end = of each line then the exported file will open as a spreadsheet so you would= n't need to copy and paste. =A0Does that make sense?

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.
